In reply to the discussion: Brother of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers endorses Trump [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)11. There are in fact two groups calling for a revolution, and the real estate swindler's folks
are the other. (Oddly, they seem to be asking permission a lot less than anyone else, more like a real revolution.) They should be watched, because they just might get their wish.
He said he sees racism in all of us, so he sees the disruptors as critical of his hero, not singled out simply because of color. Apparently, then, he is willing to set aside what others view as racism, to pursue better economic conditions for us, perhaps seeing that as a path to more justice.
It's interesting that Mr. Evers has has the benefit of all that history and seems to see the Repubs as better able to bring jobs, not sell out the workers.
From the link:
...
"Evers added that he also respects Trump for his faith and that he plans to attend Monday's rally in Madison. Evers said that if he has the chance to speak with Trump he wants to pitch bringing a catfish processing plant to Mississippi.
"Our catfish is shipped to China and brought back for us to buy. Put a catfish farm here.""
...
Sounds like the noise about shutting down imports and re-negotiating contracts may have helped get his attention.
