A good mainstream take on why a decent number of black and Latino men support Trump: he projects strength and we respect strength like non-college whites do, and unlike effete whites à la David French 1/ nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna…

And I did a Tucker Carlson hit about this, also in late September 3/

Whether Trump wins or loses is irrelevant to the fact that the only way to take back the country is with a strong leader who unites strong men and women who respect strength and want security and a better future against our degenerate ruling class and decrepit institutions 4/

All of the pandering, criminal justice reform, all of that has been a waste of time. Trump didn't have to make himself look weak like his pusillanimous son-in-law Jared Kushner, he just had to act and govern like the strong leader he ran as initially 5/

Every single person who tells you Trump had to water himself down to be reelected is lying to you. Worse, they're betraying the only political formula that sets this crazy train right 6/

"But Trump had to appear soft to win over blacks and Latinos" -- no, that's just how psychologically defeated people think. Nonwhites tend to be atavistic, a term I use positively, therefore can be less prone to the aversion of being perceived as "racist" as whites 7/
