Why do you say its against their natural self-interest?
Since 1965, ten trillion dollars, maybe more, have been given to minorities for no work and no effort. Entire categories of high paying jobs have been reserved for them. Expensive university educations have been showered on them without the normal qualification process. Their opinions and grievances have been elevated to the highest possible status in the information, social, and entertainment industries.
Of course voting to keep this up is in their natural self interest.
Because very few of them actually got anything but a pittance from this. Most of it was given to federal bureaucrats who passed some of it to state bureaucrats who passed some of it to local bureaucrats who passed some of it to community leaders and organizers who stole as much as they could.
The actual “recipients” were kept dumb and stupid, thinking the reason they did not get more of this largess was because of the evil taxpayers, not their own representatives.
Their real interest would have been to vote for Republicans or conservatives, who wanted them to have jobs.
