Specific events help shift attitudes. Movie Warroom is currently #1 and #1 with Black audiences. How do religious/cultural events like Warroom change things?

Most of my neighbors on the South and East sides of Atlanta are Black. In 2014 they complained about higher insurance premiums and deductibles for less coverage and less choice of doctor. They said they were not going to vote for Michelle Nunn. I did not believe them. I saw a massive, well financed, well staff GOTV. I predicted Michelle would lose to Perdue in a close race.

I was wrong. It was not close. A few flipped R. Many regular D voters stayed home “to teach them a lesson”.
Perdue won by a big margin because the Black Dems who turned out in 2010 and in off years for Kaseem stayed home in 2014.

I wifi from mostly Black McDs on Atlanta’s south and east sides. When Trump is on CNN everyone gathers around the TV and loves Trmp. I am the anti-Trump voice in the group. (I talk politics at McDs more than I post to FR.

Something's definitely going on there. I guess it's because Trump's a known quantity to black folks. They knew him before he shifted to the Republican camp, and have long standing respect and admiration for the man.

Now he's speaking to something that is perhaps the greatest immediate threat to them - namely, illegal immigration. When he says, "They've got to go", Americans of all races rejoice, but especially blacks, who've been impacted the worst by the invasion.
