His POC support is religious conservative homophobes and/or toxic masculinity misogynists.

His female support are white supremacists and homophobic evangelicals.

His gay support is white supremacist frat boy gays.

Hating the "right" people is a powerful drug, makes people blind to being tokens stacked for spending.

You forgot money. The more black people are able to gain upward mobility the more those black people vote with their bank accounts. Within that group are a lot of “I did it so, these n****s on the streets are just lazy and hide behind racism.”

Being a republican is the ultimate way to distance yourself from “them” and they believe their money with protect them.

I live in Atlanta so there's plenty of black folks with plenty of money. No idea how common the Republican voters are in that crowd. The Cascade road Old POC money is the Democrat machine that runs the city.

Only a matter of time before being a token gets you spent.

Ask how that upward mobility worked out for Herschel Walker, Candace Owens, Herman Cain, Vivek Ramaswamy/Byron Donalds/Tim Scott's VP hopes. And that's just off the top of my head.

Forgot to add one other group within those: grifters.

Like those Hodge Twins dudes. They hopped on the bandwagon once they too realized they can make money off of dumb folks wanting minorities to pander to their beliefs.

Exactly. Look at Mark Robinson in North Carolina.

This right here, although don’t forget all the people—particularly the wealthy—who hoard their wealth like they’re damn dragons.

Generally, I’m all about “to each their own.” That is except for the people who’s “each” means dehumanizing folks, stripping away people’s agency, and actively impinging on the civil rights of everyday human beings living their lives. Many of those Trump-supporting gender and sexual minorities and BIPOC folks are the people happy to do all of the above for one reason or another. They’re hurt by the same systems of oppressive hatred they want to impose on others, but all they see are themselves and their plights.

I’m saddened that those belief systems exist, but I’m happy to be in different camps.
