From the Inside Flap The tide is turning. In 2016, for the first time in nearly 60 years, a Republican candidate for president, Donald J. Trump, received more than 20% of the black vote in the key swing state of Pennsylvania . . . [and] in the key state of Michigan. In reality, it was black Americans who made the election of President Trump possible. Vernon Robinson and Bruce Eberle
Once this reversal, underway for decades, is complete, its all over for the Democratic Party. In Coming Home, conservative activists Vernon Robinson and Bruce Eberle trace not only black American disaffection from the GOP, but also its steady reversal. They follow up with a detailed call to action to persuade 20% or more of African-American voters to help Donald Trump win a second term. Radical leftists, with their goal of cradle-to-grave governmental control over our lives, have hijacked the Democratic Party. They will stop at nothing to prevent their nightmare scenarioblack voters inevitably abandoning the Democrats. Coming Home shows how the GOP can triumph over themwith a landslide victory for Donald Trump. Coming Home exposes the racial dynamics of the 2020 race for the White House in a way no American can responsibly ignore. It also shows how the GOP can resume its place in American society as the party of life, liberty, and happiness for all.
Dinesh DSouza has been talking about the history of the parties, and this book promises to elucidate the change in black political allegiance from Republican (following Lincoln) to Democrat.
On the interview, Vernon Robinson asserted that that pendulum is swinging back - and Democrats wont be able to stop it. Provided Trump plays his cards right, as he expects.
All these protests about George Floyd are because the Left is freaking out about the high level of Black support for Trump.
I was talking to a black neighbor with a Trump Flag flying outside.
He’s just sick of politician bull****, and thought that Trump at least does what he says he’ll do.
I think the real issue is that most older blacks that worked like crazy to get where they are see that the political minority (anarchist/socialists) might get what they want at the cost of everything else.
“...elucidate...”

To make (something) clear; explain.
That is an exceptionally nice word and I hope to be able to recall it later.
One of the reasons I so enjoy FR!
Yup, plain and simple.
I’ll believe that “high level of support” if and when it translates into votes.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759). . . in consequence of which we each need to pool our (individually inadequate) resources of incredulity. And for that I find FR indispensable.Socialists trade in cynicism and naiveté; conservatives deal instead in skepticism.
Naiveté and cynicism are in one sense opposites - but they have in common a certain lack of doubt. Conservatives are skeptical enough about society to admit the need of government - but skeptical enough of government to be on the constant lookout for the need - and the means - to curtail its size.
The authors point out that in 16 Mr. Trumps margin of victory came from black votes.Trump doesnt need 50% of the black vote to be in fat city. Even 20% would be ample. Were he to get 40%, you would be looking at a realignment. Precisely why Trump represents such an existential threat to the Democrat Party.
I wonder how many black candidates for Congress Trump has recruited. That could tell the tale. Were the Republicans to win the House and have a black caucus which was the margin of victory . . .
And it's not just about jobs and economic opportunity. It's about freedom, exercise of "Creator-endowed rights and liberties," and opportunity for each citizen, not just self-appointed elitists who fancy themselves as entitled to make decisions for all.
See this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" may be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
Thomas Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman on June 24, 1826:
" I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them." - Thomas Jefferson

“Literally all Democrats really think only whites are fully human and can make their own choices and so “real” blacks HAVE TO BE PROPERTY of the Democrat Party. NO ONE can cite a nationally known Democrat who has not OPENLY denied it’s even POSSIBLE for “real blacks” to be anything but Democrat Party cattle.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Democrats are so racist they don’t even think blacks can riot without their help.
Liberal heads are going to explode over this one...
