The Sad State Of Affairs When Black Men Stump For Trump (they’re scared-“nearly 1 in 4 Black folks would vote for him in states that matter)

…A New York Times-Siena College poll from October revealed that 22% of all Black voters in six battleground states ― including my native Michigan ― would support Trump in a general election if it were held at that time. Black men seem to be leading this charge: Trump secured 12% of our vote in 2020, up from 8% in 2016.

Considering that the Trump supporter archetype is that of an American-flag-shirt-wearing, far-right white wingnut from Middle America, it’s both frightening and sobering that, even with the information we have about Trump, nearly 1 in 4 Black folks would vote for him in states that matter.

…

There’s…palpable voter apathy (or antipathy) toward Biden…It’s not ageist to suggest that Biden might be polling poorly now because everyone thinks he’s about five seconds away from pulling one of those Mitch McConnell freezes ― it’s science. …

Reprehensible though he may be, Trump is not a stupid man: Pardoning several prominent Black men before he left office was a strategic move. He let disgraced former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, rappers Lil’ Wayne and Kodak Black; and Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris…

…

Much of this, I believe, is less about Biden the man and more about what he represents: the Democratic Party’s longstanding failure to improve the Black condition in America. No U.S. president in either party has put any real chips into making things better for us… not even Obama: Even though he broke a lot of barriers, hoods that were hoods in 2008 were largely still hoods in 2016.

Still, Trump has given no one any reason to suggest that he will sweep in on his Magic Negro Cape and spend his final four years in office transforming the Black experience in America for the better.

Well stated Doughty One !

Ask blacks if illegal aliens should get welfare.

The majority will say no.

Ask democrats if illegal alien should get welfare.

The majority will say yes.

One group understands that you can only have a limited number of takers in a society before it comes apart.

The other does not understand that the well has a bottom.

That “other”, far left progressives, are actually LILY WHITE. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these Dems hold views more extreme racist views than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups....

...as well as general views more extreme than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

They live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

This bunch of leftists has it in for blacks, youths and elders. But they seem to have grown tired of this lot, and have a wandering eye for illegal aliens. I PRAY that folks in the group about which the writer frets, break-up with the Dems.

I suspect the Left is going to be doing a lot of “Boohooing”
this November, as the Hispanic vote goes mostly to Donald
Trump. Most Hispanic citizens are sick to death of illegal
aliens. So are Blacks, but I don’t believe it’s quite as
acute.

“Considering that the Trump supporter archetype is that of an American-flag-shirt-wearing, far-right white wingnut from Middle America”

archetype invented and perpetuated solely by the leftist fascist propaganda media ...

myself, my friends and acquaintances are college educated and/or VERY successful entrepreneurs or business folks, AND we are rabidly pro-MAGA, pro-Trump ...

From my experience, the Democratic voter is like 10 point of IQ below the average Republican voter!

This has been always the case.
Since papa Marx, the communists draw on the two extremes of the property/education/sophistication spectra.
The bottom level of society is bamboozled to believe that the communists would ever give them something for nothing.
But interestingly, the cream of the society is also tending communist (at least partially).
The reason - Marx teaches the revolution and dictatorship of proletariat. But the proletariat needs to be led by some chosen luminaries!

And those people believe to be these luminaries. They think they will be the elites in charge of the revolution. (also rather mistakenly!)
When revolution happens, everybody suffers, even the poor and the luminaries!

Well, I agree that Biden could have some kind of seizure like McConnell sooner or later.

Your observations are special to you. Your interpretation is
important, and I’m sure you’ve given it thought.

I honestly think that Blacks who are Conservative sound like
they have more on the ball that Leftist Blacks, but I’d have
to say that works the same way for people of other races.

Truth is truth, and denying it does not reflect well.

Just one example. Those that call Conservatives extreme right
wing zealots, have a real hard time explaining how respecting
our Constitution and original Framers makes us anything other
than main stream dead center citizens.

Far right? Extreme? Radical? LOL

They on the other hand...

“Dustin” the wind.

[Machavelli]

That explains it. Most black men get it. They are not stupid like the Demonrats think they are. Remember, it is a secret ballot.

That is a great example of the “tribalism”. I have a high regard for Greeks I have known, but I will be honest, I have never delved into their politics beyond what I can glean from them in conversation (how we often get a bearing on someone’s politics by listening to their views on law enforcement, military, etc)

But I do not doubt for a moment that many Greeks supported the pathetic, execrable Dukakis because he was “one of them”.

I lived under Dukakis, so I know what HE was all about.

I love the new acronym that seems to be catching on...the “awfuls”. ( American White Female Liberals).

[DoughtyOne]

I hadn’t heard that one yet. It’s fitting.

There’s a video clip out there with people slapping their forehead after
someone does something stupid, that would also be very fitting with this
group.

I have a brother who is a retired teacher and flaming liberal. Back when Ford was running against Carter, Dad put a President Ford bumper sticker on the front bumper of my brother’s car. He always pulled in to his parking spot facing the school where he taught social studies (of all things). My brother couldn’t understand why the other teachers at his school stopped talking to him. I love my Dad for doing that.

I was at Home Depot at 6:00 this morning, picking up an order. One black older female working the desk, and a young black male customer. They were talking about money and were complaining about Biden’s economy. The male was voting for Trump, and the lady said “I don’t wanna vote for his @ss either.”
