Trump’s Biggest Lie Yet: Black People ‘Stole’ Election from Him

As Trump’s court cases contesting the election continue to fall flat like a never-ending line of dominoes; as state election officials everywhere have steadfastly refused to submit to his demands that they throw the election to him even as they certify Biden’s win; as both “mainstream” and even many not-so-mainstream media begin, finally, referring to Biden as the “President-elect” and more and more GOP elected officials do the same; and, of course, as the old clock on the wall keeps tick-tick-ticking inexorably towards twelve o’clock high on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump is displaying an increasingly frenzied, desperate frustration, even mania, as the law of diminishing returns closes in on him.

Thus, he has finally turned to his dyed-in-the-wool default scapegoat for any- and everything wrong with the world: Black People.

Writing over at Salon.com, Heather Digby Parton (“Digby”) perhaps best contextualized what Lame Duck Donald is up to now:

Trump has made it clear, she wrote, that he believes the vote was stolen from him in cities with large Black populations — Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Basically, he’s set up a counter-narrative that his white voters have been disenfranchised by Black people.

This, Digby notes, is a continuation of the conservative trope of the “Lost Cause,” carefully constructed following their defeat after the Civil War. It is the simultaneous meme of “blame-the-blacks” and the assumption by put-upon and aggrieved white people of a never-ending martyrdom foisted upon them by an obviously inferior race of people. It has been deployed consistently, relentlessly to “rationalize,” justify (even glorify) the continuing social, economic, cultural, and political discrimination, the residential, educational, and employment segregation, the total domination — the dehumanization — of black people for every single one of the at least 401 past years that we have been forced to endure in this blood-soaked land.

And why not oppress black people? Trump and his minions ask themselves and anyone else who will listen. To do otherwise, they argue, would risk “them” taking over and subjugating “hard working,” Christian, superior white people to the same discrimination, segregation, domination and dehumanization that white people have always imposed upon them.

White people look at black people and our position at and as the bottom rung of every socio-economic ladder and metric and think that if the tables were turned, that is, if black people had enslaved, repressed and oppressed white people for hundreds of years, they — white people themselves — surely would not have stood still for such treatment and would be in a constant state of rebellion and revolution against their black oppressors.

So Why Do Black People Submit? Rather than die fighting back? Because they are not really human. They are only a little smarter than dumb animals. For the same reason that horses, cows, and mules, and even chimps and gorillas don’t revolt. Even though black people (like so many other animals) often outnumber and certainly could physically overpower us…they don’t have the “mental capacity,” the “necessities” (ala’ Jimmy the Greek in 1998) — and so still believe the great bulk of white folks and why they support and vote for and will even die for guys like Donald Trump in 2020.

Trump’s Obama Obsession Rises For the Last Time?

Trump has tried to make the ridiculous argument that it was simply impossible that more black people voted for Biden in 2020 than voted for Obama in either 2008 or 2012. That’s just commonsense — common racist white peoples’ sense. The truth is, of course, that black people were not voting for Biden. They were voting against Trump. Hell, that’s why millions of black people held their noses last year during the primaries and put Biden over the top — because as a “not-as-crazy,” “not-as-racist,” old white man —Joe Biden had the best chance of ridding all of us of this throwback to the 19th Century, Donald Trump.

Here, Trump is still feeding his “base” their daily ration of racist red meat. He and they hate Obama (and by extension, black people) with a visceral passion that reaches way back into European evolutionary history. Their hatred for people who “do not look like them” is so deep that they just cannot conceive of or imagine black folk except as anything other than an undifferentiated, mindless, not-quite-human, black blob and who can only perceive the world in black and white terms. Thus, they (black folk) cannot help themselves….They must vote as one for any black thing walking. But Biden? No way! He’s too damn white, even though and despite the fact that he was Obama’s “ABC” — Ace Boon Coon for the uninitiated.
