He’s also playing the *socialist* card, because in their very limited intellectual capacity, that’s about as much as they can deal with in a political debate.
This a disturbing pattern that probably a psychologist would be better trained to explain: Venezuelans who do not have ties to the US pretend to be stakeholders in an electoral process that has nothing to do with them.
Some of the argue they have *ties* because a cousin (or a friend) lives here. This is such a disturbing behavior that I find alarming, it is a detachment from reality, and is increasingly concerning. I am truly alarmed by this behavior, this is not normal.
They are obsessed about a country they do not live in, ignoring the basics of its political system, let alone its history.
They have no clue about what race or gender mean in this country, and yet, they attempt to characterize it with a narrow-minded approach that leaves little doubt of their desperation.
Another example: I’m talking about Republicans disenfranchising Black and Latinos. Someone jumped in with a Wikipedia reference about Lincoln ending slavery.

Don’t be surprised with progressives and the left gaining more support. The right is advancing an authoritarian agenda, and they will face the consequences. They will have only themselves to blame.

The campaign knows, just like the rest of the country, that they don't have the votes. The Wayne County drama and the Wisconsin recount are signs that has President is moving forward in his plan to change the results:
People from Latin America who are not familiar with racial issues in the U.S. believe this is false. Brown people have bought into right-wing media’s narrative.
Several days ago a local reporter asked what was the reason for the "interest" Venezuelans have about politics (and elections) in the United States.
We spoke about Venezuelan-Americans and their support for Trump, and the influence the Cuban-American exile in South Florida has on the Venezuelan-American community.
Among academics, the conversation about Venezuelan-Americans is gaining a lot of interest, both because of their political preferences and their impact on local electoral results.
Hace unos días una reportera de aquí me preguntaba cuál era la razón de ese ‘interés’ de los venezolanos en la política (y las elecciones) de los estados Unidos.
Hablamos por supuesto de los venezolanos-americanos, de su preferencia por Trump, y de la influencia del exilio cubano-americano en el sur de la Florida sobre la comunidad venezolano-americana.
En las conversaciones académicas, el tema de los venezolanos-americanos ocupa buena parte de nuestro interés, tanto por sus preferencias políticas como su influencia efectiva en los resultados electorales.
