The left-wing, liberal, and Democratic narrative about former President Donald Trump being a racist is falling apart.
For years, labeling Trump as a racist was an integral part of Democrats’ political strategy. It was never really true, mind you. It was just baseless hyperbolic hysteria that was at the foundation of the Democratic political propaganda machine. They have used it against every Republican presidential candidate for the last 40 years.
They used it to brainwash, scare, and manipulate racial minorities and white liberals in the previous two presidential elections, in which Trump was the GOP nominee. They wanted to create a narrative that the only people who supported Trump were a bunch of lowly, uneducated, racist white people. It worked in 2016, and it worked in 2020. It’s not working in 2024.
The sanctimony of white, liberal Democrats is predicated on their unhinged arrogance of moral superiority involving race. The white, liberal Democrats think racial minorities cannot succeed in the United States without white, liberal Democrats saving them. The white, liberal Democrats think they are more intelligent, enlightened, and compassionate than Republicans. So, imagine their surprise when, outside the venue that hosted a town hall for Trump in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, it was black, Latino, and Asian Trump supporters shouting down Vice President Kamala Harris’s white, liberal supporters.
I witnessed, firsthand, white, liberal Harris supporters screaming that Trump is a racist and then demeaning the many black, Latino, and Asian Trump supporters holding Trump signs and wearing MAGA hats and shirts. These smug, arrogant white people were trying to tell racial minorities what was best for them. It was a sight to behold, but not one that has not become commonplace in American society. It was a reflection of just how out of touch with reality white, liberal Harris voters are.
The crowd at the town hall was diverse, with a larger-than-expected minority presence, given the tall tales of Harris supporters’ fails regarding diversity and race among Trump supporters. It was immediately noticeable upon arriving at the town hall. Those in attendance were greeted by boisterous Asian Americans waving American flags in front of Trump posters, wearing red MAGA hats, and chanting the name “Trump!”
A few hundred feet away, a group of Dominican Trump voters were cheering for the former president and shouting down anyone who dared insult the GOP nominee. They stood outside the venue holding signs that read “Dominicans for Trump” and “Boricuas for Trump.”
A Harris supporter passed the group and chastised them, asking how they could be a minority and support a racist and a bigot. A person holding a “Boricuas for Trump” sign shouted back at them, asking the white Harris supporter who they thought they were telling a Dominican who to support. The Harris supporter kept walking. Other incidents played out similarly nearby.
Later, this group gathered at a main intersection near the Lancaster Convention Center and engaged in a shouting match with a group of Harris supporters, who had gathered to protest Trump. There did not appear to be any mention of race, just two groups shouting back and forth at each other. However, again, I noticed the Harris supporters were white, and the most vocal Trump supporters were black, Latino, and Asian.
I spoke to a man holding a “Dominicans for Trump” sign and asked him about the negative stereotypes and accusations of racism that Harris supporters had about Trump and his supporters. He rejected such a premise.
“It makes me feel disgusted because he [Trump] works with every race,” the Dominican Trump supporter said. “It’s been proven too many times, so why do [sic] American people who choose to vote for Kamala Harris call him a racist? Because they have nothing else to say but to listen to the garbage of news and gossip … ”
So, what is behind the stereotype-shattering and change in support for Trump among Dominicans and others in the Latino community? The man credited it to people opening their eyes and finally seeing the truth.

“Well, I just think the younger generation is starting to see the truth and all the gossip and lies about Trump,” he said. They are “starting to see the real value in him, and that’s why the change is happening.”
This sentiment was echoed by other black, Latino, and Asian Trump supporters in the crowd. It’s a startling change of events from just a few years ago. However, it’s a trend that is going to continue. It might not be quick, and it won’t be easy, but in the long run, it will happen. When it does, it’s going to be the biggest shock of all to white, liberal Democrats. They will be a group of people left behind in their own smug arrogance, desperately clinging to claims of racism and white supremacy as the rest of the world moves on to “Make America Great Again.”
