In 2000, there was a young black man at one of the Bush v Gore protests/rallies that sincerely believed that Republicans wanted to re-institute slavery.
You can see it in some of the radical black racism; they do believe that. And you can’t argue with it; it’s totally emotional.
And that’s why the Dems keep playing the race card. It works, and it works in a way that keeps logic from making inroads into the voting process.
The shame is on the people who calculatedly do this, like the Dem political operatives, people like Sharpton (who I am convinced doesn’t believe his own rhetoric) and worst of all, the MSM who so doggedly pursue statism and national socialism in any way they can.
