Why so many blacks will vote for Trump?

October 12, 2024

Why so many black Americans will vote for Trump?

In one word: racism. In another word: convenience. Some blacks are as racists against immigrants as Trump and the rest of MAGA supporters. Some blacks are counting on benefiting socioeconomically from Trump's closed border and anti immigration policies. Blacks, as all other humans, votes based on perceived convenience. For many, the perceived convenience is to stick to the tradition of voting for the Democratic party to secure more socioeconomic privileges and protections. For some blacks, voting for Trump looks convenient because they see immigrants as their competition for socioeconomic privileges in our country. Both views make sense. While Harris will carry the vast majority (80%) of the black vote, Trump may get up to 20% of the black vote, which would be a record. We predict that Trump will win these elections by a comfortable electoral college margin higher than the one in 2016. 

Why will Trump win?

Racism against immigration. These elections are not about the economy, which is almost perfect. Trump cannot improve the current economy. From an economic standpoint, the Democrat's "open border" economy is a superior proposition than Trump's closed border and tariffs economy. However, since the vast majority of immigrants are non-white, millions of white Americans are incredibly uncomfortable and living in emotional pain. Since the immigrants do the jobs that poor Americans (both whites and blacks) don't want to do at the current labor market rates, many poor Americans (especially blacks) resent the immigrants as unfair competition. 

In sum, whites see immigrants as racial "pollution" and blacks see immigrants as economic competition. The immigration issue is complicated and doesn't have an easy solution. The "New World" was established on white Christian supremacy. 

It all began on a day like today (October 12th) 532 years ago. On October 12, 1492, Italian navigator Cristoforo Colombo discovered a transatlantic maritime route from Europe to the New World. He thought that he had arrived India, and died thinking that he had found islands off the coast of India. Anyways, after 5 centuries of colonization, many things have changed and political white supremacy has eroded significantly. Blacks are no longer invisible shackles although many remain psychologically oppressed and colonized. Many whites have been unable to realize the American Dream despite five centuries of relative privilege. There are millions of Americans who resent deeply the "fast" erosion of white supremacy and the fast rise of non-white immigration. The emotional pain is such that many fall into the trap of racism and are ready to sell out to our modern-day Hitler, Donald Trump.   

Now you know it. 

Live well. Die better. Enjoy.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
