At the same time, though, people who can think of no criticism for Trump no matter what character and policy flaws he demonstrates also have TDS.
In both cases it's not about principles or even policy, it's just about cheering for your team and booing the other team.
When a black man gets killed for holding a trump sign, it's a little more than cheering for one side or another.
All presidents have character flaws and nobody gets everything they want in policy changes.

Same with the so-called stimulus. He's going to leave office having signed legislation that ballooned the national debt to levels so damaging as to permanently weaken the U.S. geopolitically.
The tax cut was a reconciliation bill that was both revenue and deficit-neutral. The corporation tax cut was needed to keep the U.S. competitive. Even Nordic countries have low corporate taxes because they learned not to kill the golden goose. So considering the tax cut didn't hurt you personally and that it doesn't affect the national debt, being against it you have no valid claim.
The Democrat-controlled house has the sole power to introduce spending bills. The stimulus was a comprise that was agreed on by both sides. It had the votes so even with a Trump veto it would have passed. You can't blame Trump for that.

The point remains, blacks are not African Americans.
It's still a free country and you can say whatever you want but it suggests that they are subclass citizens.
