Democrats are worried about black voters in November
American Thinker ^ | Monica Showalter

On Saturday, the AP published an article describing Democrat worries about the Trump campaign team’s black outreach efforts. Democrats see that Trump is a Republican like no other, including his challenge to the Democrats’ decades’ long hold on black voters.

Democrats like to hide the fact that it was once Republican party that had the lock on black voters. The Republicans had earned that relationship. The Republican party was formed in 1854 as an abolitionist party, and it was the Republican party, under Abraham Lincoln’s leadership, that spearheaded a vast civil war to end that immoral practice.

What finally pried blacks away from the Republican party was government money. The first round of government checks came under Franklin Roosevelt. The second round came through Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. That second round not only cemented blacks’ allegiance to the Democrat party, it also destroyed much of the black community.

Before the welfare state, blacks had made significant economic strides, with poverty dropping by almost half between 1940 and 1960 and income more than doubling between 1936 and 1959. In 1960, 78% of black children came from two-parent families. In the next sixty years, that number was turned on its head: Now, more than 70% of black children live in a single-parent home.

Children raised in those homes are more likely to be impoverished, the boys are more likely to end up in prison, and the girls are more likely to get pregnant as teenagers and repeat the single-parent cycle. Contrary to the third-wave feminist rap, men are important in a child’s life – and the Democrat-promoted welfare state made too many black men economically unnecessary.

With these facts, it ought to have been a no-brainer for Republican candidates to speak directly to the black community, but none did. Before Trump, both

This fact ensures that Biden will choose a black woman as VP.

Blacks poll 20% to 35% for Trump.

Democrats are doomed.

The Dems better worry. They just screwed the hell out of the minority’s. They own the big effort after they did the killing jobs and hosing the lowest unemployment numbers in history down. Black? Laid off? Who loves ya? Sure as hell ain’t pelosi and Schumer. Better figure out which side of the bread your butter is on.

This is part of the reason liberals are trying to make the fraudulent case that minorities are somehow being effected harder by the Coronavirus. Last week they started scrambling for racial data on positive cases.

I seriously doubt that. The Democrats know that they have the Black vote sewed up. The Democrats have a plan for November 2020.

I have a bad feeling about it too. If swing states swing Trump heavily and blue precincts make votes that are significantly higher than registered voter amounts, it’s boogaloo time whether we like it or not.

Number 1. Hillary and her disciples were over confident. They were led to believe all they had to do was get Hillary to show up and she would win. Jeb Bush was to be the designated loser. And until Donald Trump got in the race, this was true. He changed the dynamic. The people, not the politicians supported [voted for]him. Hillary's camp failed to see the situation as it was. They preferred to see it as how they were told it would be. If they had looked at reality, they would have learned that apart from the feminists, politicians, accadmina, Hillary was universally hated by both women and men.

The Democrat's plan for the November 2020 elections involves voting by mail to some extent and ballot harvesting./p>

Doesn’t she have to show a valid birth certificate to be on the ballot in several states? If so, she will demur.

That's why they are nominating Biden, the great plantation overseer, the "Massah" . . . Let's not forget his 2012 foray into South Carolina, in his best black accent: "Those Republicans, they gonna put all y'all in chains!" If only the black community would realize that the opposite is true. It's the Democrats keeping them in chains.

They are doing this in Virginia — sent out a “request” through the Department of Health for us health professionals to “register” any minority we knew to be affected by COVID. They’re trolling for cases.
