Black Voters Beginning to Turn Right as Midterms Near
The Epoch Times ^ | 10/04/18 | MATTHEW VADUM

Posted on 10/07/2018 2:47:30 PM PDT by Libloather

Support for President Donald Trump is growing among black Americans, but it’s unclear whether that will translate into enough votes for Republicans to retain control of Congress in the midterm elections in one month’s time.

This apparent reversal of fortunes stands in stark contrast to Republicans’ inability in recent decades to attract much support from black voters.

Part of the growth could be due to defections from the Democratic side. Former Democrat Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway movement has been encouraging Americans to share their personal stories of disillusionment with the Democratic Party and abandon, or “walk away,” from the party. The movement encourages voters to reject the influence of the far left on the Democratic Party, which in turn benefits the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. It is difficult to quantify the movement’s actual effects, but it is undeniably stirring things up in American culture.

The Kavanaugh debacle may have stirred up memories of the treatment of Clarence Thomas, which was extremely distasteful to most black Americans.

I think Kanye is having an impact, even if his former music industry pals are distancing from him.

You have to figure Latino and Black men will walk.

From what I have heard from pollsters, Trumps gain among Blacks is 100% male. Black women are all in on black feminism and are a lost cause for a generation or more. For black men, they are just in the last 20 years getting past the "automatic guilty" assumption for being black (though it still applies if you dress and act the part). Now they are guilty just because they are men? Awe, hell no!

What it has done is provide cover for folks who were always closet Conservatives.

This allows them to spread the good word to others in their group.

Very cool.

I have read some of the testimonials, and they are NOT all closet Conservatives. Some folks admit the process, and talk about it. Very cool, those videos.

I think Kavanaugh was a wake-up call to those suburban women.

One more thing, gentlemen, before I quit. Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase that the Yankees and the distaff side of the Executive branch in Washington are fond of hurling at us. There is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, for certain people to use this phrase out of context, to satisfy all conditions. The most ridiculous example I can think of is that the people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious—because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority. We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe—some are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others—some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of most men.

But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal—there is one human institution that makes a pauper equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court. It can be the Supreme Court of the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court which you serve. Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.

Racist libtards still can't understand who some Black Americans actually prefer the opportunity to work over a government handout.

White men have already fled the Democrat Party. Men of color are heading for the exits, too.

Because of its treatment of Kavanaugh.

When they accuse a man.

Clarence Thomas was a black man by a black woman.

And black men are men, too.

Ok, I will add “Conservative men”

Senator Hirono, said nothing when 9 women accused Senator Inouye.

I know a few Democrats (old style, moderately liberal but decent and ethical) as well as a few Lefties, who are totally turned off by antics of those whackadoodles in Washington.

A lot of those dems may not vote Republican, but they sure aren't gonna vote Democrat.

Democrats hate men - just not white men. All men are guilty.
