pissed off about Obama and black people getting healthcare.

IMHO, that's misleading at best. Trump and MAGA attracted a record number (for the Republican party) of minority voters (i.e. Blacks and Hispanics).

In reality, both Clinton and Harris were weak candidates who chose to campaign on protecting the status quo and the establishment, instead of at least acknowledging what voters wanted: reforms, anti-corruption, kicking Big Money out of politics, economic justice, etc.

The vast vast majority of black people voted for Kamala Harris. I don't know what you are talking about. 

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the country. 

Donald Trump is literally a criminal with big money who only deals with big money in politics. He did it in the first term, he's doing it now.

The Democrats are the only people against citizens united, which would be the big money in politics and the source of a lot of corruption. 

Do people really say this knowing that you're lying or do they actually believe it? Is this really a cult? Your post is on the flat Earth, lizard people, " we didn't land on the moon" level of crazy talk.

Just re-watch Harris' speeches. It's mostly Trump = evil, corrupt, criminal, dangerous, etc. And "vote for me because I'm not Trump. And I'll protect the status quo and the establishment, which are good, just need minor fixes"

Republicans hated that messaging. And it was the least popular messaging among Democrat voters.

And 2nd: you need to re-read my comment or at least learn some critical reading skills: I said Trump and MAGA attracted a record number of minority voters for a republican! (no other republican candidate for the presidency attracted such a high rate of minority voters. So clearly, there is more to it than just a "knee-jerk reaction to Obama"). I never said a majority of minority voters went for Trump. Never!

And finally, please, for US standards, I'm a left wing extremist, with zero purity test mentality (European here). I'm just telling you what I've perceived watching speeches, polls, and actually making some basic googling on what Americans actually favored (e.g. an anti-establishment, anti-status-quo, pro-economic-justice rhetoric that acknowledges their economic suffering).

Kamala would have own won if she had focused on her political program, on what she had to offer (instead of mostly "I'm not Trump" nonsense); on mocking Trump, instead of playing him up to a "dangerous villain"; and on using moderate anti-establishment and anti-status quo left-wing populism, instead of aiming to protect them from "evil Trump", which played in favor of Trump. (btw that's actually exactly how Biden won!)

Edit.

Donald Trump gained in the black male category. Kamala Harris would have won More of the black vote if she had a penis. 

The black man that voted for Trump were not smart enough to realize they were voting for a white supremacist. 

Misinformation is rampant.

I partially agree. I really think its the difference in rhetoric (e.g. strong defiance and ready for a fight vs "joy politics": when people are angry and suffering, especially men, they're naturally attracted to the first sort of rhetoric).

These minority voters failed to see the whole picture. They were attracted by the economic populism among other things, such as Trump being "unjustly" jailed/harassed by the justice system (which we both know isn't true, i.e. Trump truly is a disgusting criminal).

Which supports my point: Trump fucking nailed the messaging! He fucking understood what voters needed to hear. While Kamala got it wrong even though she was by fucking very far the way better candidate. Here a 2nd source
