Indeed. If blacks even shift to 33% republican a few things will happen. 1) republicans will likely win nationally for a while 2) blacks will get a lot more focus on from both parties as they become swing votes. Right now white women are the swing vote and get most of the attention and pandering. Trump is right - what do you have to lose? Minorities besides Asians are no better off today than 1965
“Trump is right - what do you have to lose? Minorities besides Asians are no better off today than 1965”
Pretty sad, isn’t it? Fortunately, millions of blacks are waking up to that fact, which has become all the more glaring under Precedent Obama’s reign.
Just how have the lives of blacks been measurably improved by voting in a monolithic block for Democrats, for all these decades? The painful answer is, most have seen the quality of theirs, their children’s, and their grandchildren’s lives utterly demolished.
Even if they’re not ready to believe that the Democrat party is responsible for the degraded state of their communities, they must admit that voting for that party has done nothing to improve their lot.
As you said, it makes much more political sense for blacks to become a swing block. That way, the two major parties have to promise and deliver honest results which positively affect their lives. The same old, same old of gubmint handouts won’t achieve that, and the 20% who now favor Trump, know it all too well.
