Will the church start paying taxes since it supports politicians?
I agree they should be taxed. That being said, I don’t know this man’s goals, but inviting Trump to an open mic at a black church makes his son of a KKK member views just SO much more damaging. I really wish he got more offers like this.
I’m usually all with you on that complaint, but this case is different. They didn’t promote Trump. They hosted a roundtable with him. Presumably, they would do the same with Biden were his campaign to request it.
Trump was trying to reach predominantly Democratic or non-voting black voters in Detroit by going to a predominantly black church, and he failed, pulling in a white crowd instead.
Really? You cannot be serious.
“They asked me to promote them, but I didn’t offer. So I’m not actually promoting them.”
Your entire argument is completely irrelevant. And promoting both candidates (like hell that would actually happen, but sure, buddy, we’ll give you the benefit of the non-existent doubt), that’s literally claiming two wrongs make a right. Which, they don’t. At all.
And nice job copy/pasting the wrong name; totally didn’t make any of us think you’re working a script here. Not at all. (Whatever they’re paying you, they’re getting ripped off)
Consider this, if the pastor wanted to hurt Trump, inviting him to talk at a black church is a hell of a weapon.
I’m don’t know what the goal was here, and I’m not disagreeing with you, just that on the surface, this backfired on Trump badly, which would have been easy to predict.
It’s only a good way to hurt him in the way that anyone ever giving Trump the chance to speak is a weapon against his campaign. He’ll manage to fuck it up in some way every chance he gets, but the only people who will ever care already have a laundry list of reasons to hate him.
I didn’t copy paste. I spoke too quickly and made an error.
No need to be a jerk.
And yes, what I said is relevant. The activity matters.
Think you mean Trump in the second paragraph
It’s projection all the way down with them.
I had to reread after reading your comment because I was sure the guy was talking about Trump.
Edit: Turns out that person was talking about Trump! Just an innocent mistake on their part.
Yes, thank you. Brain fart moment.
I actually really like it how the historically helplessly oppressed places are starting to get woke
(Meaning, like, the old definition of woke)
Parts of Georgia and Michigan are turning into these activist hotbeds + I’m here for it
Tell me you know nothing of American political history without telling me you know nothing of American political history.
?
“Historically” I meant like 1980-2015 or so
Was I not aware? I thought the big liberal cities on the coasts were the centers of activism, and the middle and the Southeast mostly got preyed upon by the American Thatcherites, and either said “More please” or “Aaaaah it hurts” with none of this “Fuck you stop that” energy that’s coming into play now. But maybe I was unaware of an activist history there?
Idk what that person was referring to, but the hotbeds of American activism, especially worker activism, were in Americas internal periphery for almost all of the 20th century.
Especially labor and equal rights struggles were often in the rural or suburban (this used to mean living near a factory before it meant that joni Mitchell song about the little houses!) near cities as opposed to in the cities themselves.
Heck, it’s trod ground but the government bombed mine workers in ‘21!
Absolutely accurate yes. I meant post 1980; I should have specified. Back in the days when people were making big progress, it was all over (and rural more so than in the cities) as I understand it.
Did he throw in some Trump signed bibles?
Fool. He doesn’t throw. He sells.
Unless the event was to hide from Trunp in a place that he’d never find them, they were right to laugh in your face.
I wouldn’t have laughed. I would have told them how I really feel.
lol, good
An article on about the pastor letting Trump speak there. He was hoping it was a chance for his churchgoers to be heard.
