The "voice of the voiceless" thing is his whole spiel. What did they call it in 2015, the forgotten voter or something? Darrell Schmoe Jenkins can scream on Facebook all he wants about how Kamala is fake black, but nobody that matters will ever hear him. Hence the importance of who controls the social media platforms. It's not much difference than the dozens of female politicians that claim to speak for women on abortion when women's votes are basically split on the issue. It may have changed post-Roe being overturned under the 10th amendment, but it was like 52/48 in the 2010s.But then let those southerners and black people comment on it. It's a really bad take to be coming from Trump.
We don't have a democracy. We have a republic, and in a republic, the politicians you democratically elected represent you at the federal level, hence why you don't get to vote on federal policy. Everyone in politics at that level speaks for someone, whether they like it or not. If anyone gets to speak for everyone, it's those running for president. Again, you don't have to like it or agree with it, but that's who's speaking for you. The only real alternative is doing what the confederacy did and not losing.
