Interesting.
The original question was if "You have good genes. A lot of it’s about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory you think was so different? You have good genes in Minnesota." was blatant support for eugenics.
You quickly started referencing other snipped sections and then started leaving out the sections on genetics. Quite the redirection.
Yes, and the original answer
included that quote, but also what came after it:
Like saying, "You have good genes. A lot of it’s about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory you think was so different? You have good genes in Minnesota. [They didn’t have a lot of money. They didn’t have a lot of luxury, but they had grit, they had faith, and they had each other. That’s what you have now. You have each other.
...
They were miners and lumberjacks, fishermen and farmers, shipbuilders and shopkeepers.]"?
How is this not blatant support for eugenics?
I really have no idea where one could pull eugenics out of that....
A later post also included everything above, plus what came before it. Hard to see how that is "redirection" - in what way do you see redirection?
So again:
What is your interpretation of Trump's purpose in mentioning genetics and Racehorse theory?
So again:
It's a stump speech, in which a presidential candidate sprinkles a few state-specific comments. Note that it's usually best if the candidate remembers the correct state name. ;)
One might read into it that he's saying "your ancestors didn't need government help so neither do you" - a typical Republican stance. Seems quite a stretch to go from that to eugenics, but maybe your dog-whistle hearing is genetically superior. :)
In other words, there wasn't much "purpose" beyond the usual Republican appeal to self-sufficiency, etc. It seems to bother you a lot, though, and if you think Trump is secretly plotting a eugenic campaign across America, that "racehorse theory" is a coded message for the troops to assemble, and this election is the last chance to stop it, well, I can understand why you would be upset. As already mentioned, alternate realities....
If the words "racehorse theory" are in fact something that bother many people, then Trump wasn't smart to say them. Had you not mentioned the background, I doubt many would have noticed. Even the transcription that accompanies the audio says "resource theory" instead of "racehorse theory" but I think "racehorse" is what he said.
