On my way to work this morning, I saw someone placing "Black Voices for Trump" signs.....

... on a landscaped traffic median in downtown Detroit. The person (Quelle Surprise!) was not black.

.... I'm going to go back up there (right across from Little Caesars Arena) at lunch, but I suspect the city will have removed them by then.

They're all over Twitter pretending to be black. Enough is enough. We're going to have to start impersonating them. Lol.

I'm a white guy who voted for trump in 2016 and 2020 but now I'm voting for Kamala because I have 5 daughters to think about.

Yeah I think I will do that. I'll even capitalize the T to add authenticity. 🙄 Does anyone know how to put a maga hat on someone using photoshop?

I've noticed a strong Instagram presence of Black voices for Trump. They tend to be religious conservatives. Islamic and Christian.
Kool-Aid's a hellofa drug.

Since the group's launch in 2019, Herman Cain died from COVID, and the executive director was charged in the Georgia Trump case and also allegedly assaulted an FBI agent in Maryland.

Video clips of black Americans talking. Their accounts with several hundred posts. On street interviews. Podcast interviews.

You somehow don't think that's real? You shouldn't.
