That is why they had to implement this plan.
They weren’t losing the black vote. Trump would have been lucky to break 10%; now, he will probably be lucky to get the 8% he got last time. This fantasy of the turning the black vote Republican has been going on for decades. Any progress? The data suggests not.
Privileged, white, tattooed snowflakes burning black neighborhoods to the ground in the name of anti-racism?
What’s not to like?
Nothing has changed with who Blacks support, everything has changed as far as getting the younger Dem Blacks to the polls.
I see all this rioting BS as costing the Dems even more black votes. The Dems will keep the “black trash” vote (”if” they actually vote). SANE blacks will back law and order, because THEY are the real victims of the violence.
Biden will pick a black woman as his VP. That will him with this demographic group. But it will hurt him with others. Not too many normal people want to consider Stacy Abrams or Kamala Harris as President.
1921: the lat year angry white Democrats burned down a black community.
2020: the year angry white Democrats returned to helping burn down black communities.

I have a slightly different interpretation. All these events — including the riots — are more or less being controlled by Nancy Pelosi at a strategic-level. She may not be giving marching orders to ANTIFA and BLM, but she doesn’t have to. The infantry foot-soldiers are engaged and need no orders to do what they do. Her job is to reconcile their activities with the overall Democrat game-plan for November and beyond. Central to that strategy is retaining a death-grip on 90% of Black voters. If they lose that the party goes into minority status for 12 years, minimum. Perhaps longer as the Republicans will tie the Democrats to ANTIFA worse than the Democrats tied Republicans to Richard Nixon after Watergate.

I would be surprised if it is true that Eisenhower received 75% of the black vote in 1956. Of course in 1956 it was hard for blacks to vote in a number of states. But it is usually thought that the major shift from Republican to Democrat took place because of the New Deal—despite FDR’s unwillingness to do much for blacks because he needed the support of segregationist Southern Democrats, blacks felt that they were benefiting from the New Deal programs, and the blacks living in Northern cities where they could vote behaved like immigrant groups had behaved—seeing the Democrats as the ones who would help them.
I doubt they were losing the black vote to begin with.
Half their voting places have been burned down.
On the contrary.
No look at the numbers. Rasmussen last week Trump approval from African Americans has never been higher- 40% approve and 26% approve very highly.
Think about it!
"Gather round, kids. while I tell you a tale from 1220 A.D."
Losing the black vote? Yeah, all the way down to 94%.
The thugs in charge timed this very badly. The “fun” of looting will be long gone, and the pain of no longer having a business district will still be fresh. I imagine this will give Trump a small bump with urban voters.

Time for Blacks to get off the Democrat Plantation.
