I mean I expected him to avoid talking about how he's never going to deliver on that promise, but I didn't expect it to disappear this conspicuously. I think hating on BLM and doing performative Blue Lives shit has replaced it as the symbolic representation of white supremacy in his campaign.

    Trump got 29% in 2016, Romney got 27% in 2012, McCain got 31% in 2008, and Bush got 40% in 2004. It doesn't really look like the GOP is doing better with Latino voters.

      Yeah, I think the GOP's strength is in keeping the rich/old/White/male turn out high by preaching racism/classism, and depressing everyone else's through active disenfranchisement, limited voting locations/long lines, and corporate media shitting on the idea of real change. Also the FTFP/rural states, keeping out DC/Puerto Rico, and gerrymandering. And this year it'll be through however they ratfuck voting by mail.
