Black lawmaker Mesha Mainor who defected from Democrats to join Republicans says the African-American vote has been taken for granted for 50 YEARS as evidence grows that Biden's support is collapsing

'No one ever tells us what the Democrat platform is or what the Republican platform is,' said Georgia state Rep. Mesha Mainor in her cramped office.

'They just say you're a Democrat. And this is how you vote.'

That was not good enough for Mainor, an African-American in a state where the Black vote powered Joe Biden to Georgia's 16 electoral college votes in 2020.

Earlier this year the woman elected as a Democrat in 2020 did the unthinkable, crossing the aisle to become the only Black Republican in the state legislature.

Her decision was driven by failing schools, the need for better security on the streets of Atlanta, and a growing sense that Democrats were not acting in the best interests of her Black constituents.

The switch triggered a rapid backlash, including a torrent of online abuse from people telling her to kill herself or making reference to 'Aunt Jemima.'

But during an interview with DailyMail.com she said she was confident that she could win reelection as a Republican in a largely Black and impoverished district.

Her town hall events have become busier since she switched, she added, suggesting that she was in step with her voters and a growing mistrust of Democrats.

'I feel like the story is going to be especially among minority voters that we've been listening to you guys for 50 years,' she said.

'You can't keep telling us one more law that we're gonna believe. We're done.

'And I'm just the first Black Republican in metro Atlanta that has ever been in a position like this.'

Sure. There sure were a lot of blacks who showed up to vote because they were so incensed by that water main break at 4:00 am...

Yes they do, that and millions of bought and paid for illegals voters.

It’s interesting to see shifts in political allegiances. Mesha Mainor’s perspective highlights concerns about the African-American vote being taken for granted, adding to discussions about political dynamics.

[Jyotishi]

“Dems still have the cheat machine.”

There must be reasons why they are the only ones, if so.

[BradyLS]

Welcome, Meisha Mainor! But I gotta be honest: Republicans take their consituents’ vote for granted, too.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Whoa. Blacks getting uppity? Sounds like Biden and crew will have to break out the FBI (KKK successor) to handle the domestic terrorism on the plantation.

Did it? Did it really? Tell a lie often enough...

[Truthsearcher]

Actually if people paid attention to the numbers this has been trending for a few years now, it’s just none of this has impacted the electoral level because when you have 80% support drop to 70% support, it’s not observable on the election result level in a lot cities. But if the trend continues, at some point it’s going to threaten to affect outcomes of elections, only then will media and pundits start to pay attention.

LBJ, with his ‘gret society’ program, stated with joy, that this program turns those (n*****s) into Democrat voters for 100 years!

[Parley Baer]

I hope she is correct. However, it is who counts the votes that matters.

[OSHA]

“Welcome, Meisha Mainor! But I gotta be honest: Republicans take their consituents’ vote for granted, too.”

It’s not the idiotic GOP that’s drawing the black vote. It’s DJT.

The Dems take them for granted and the Pubs won’t court them.

DEAD Senator Robert Byrd has “NO COMMENT” on his headstone.

[frank ballenger]

But Biden will not be the nominee.

How do they like the new one?

[Sertorius]

Yes, but if black democrats get tired of the supporting the machine with no results, they would make interesting witnesses with immunity deals.

[Revolutionary]

I am predicting that Trump will get very close to 50% of the black vote.

What? What? So the black community isn’t going to be bought off by democrats with one more ‘community center’ that hires twelve people?

And another street named MLK?

There is hope.
