In the wake of Trump’s motorcade driving through the Atlanta ghetto - in order to film a few black people cheering for a conservative - we’re once again seeing a bunch of conservative talking heads rehash the same tired bullshit about blacks waking up to the corruption and degeneracy of the left. These pundits are claiming that black support for Trump is now at 20% and climbing!
Nonsense. The reality is that we have a cottage industry of black content creators, influencers, and reactors who promote conservatism not for a black audience but rather for a white conservative audience. Because white conservatives are absolutely terrified of being labeled racist, so black creators are ready to cash in with content that serves that demographic.
Blacks are never going to support republicans.
Black men on average have polled as high as 40% for Donald Trump.
The thing that's utterly killing him is black women: 2% support.
You're never going to get a demographic of people dependent on government gibs to vote for Republicans.
Not to mention the abortion rate. Black women make black men look like Jainists.
Yeah, honestly, you're better off having them marry conservative black men than trying to recruit them.
That being said... that's a tall order too.
If I were in a position to shape policy, I'd end welfare and strongly incentivize women to marry and have children. Basically with regard to black society, a return to life as it was before Johnson's Great Society.
I'd point out that if we look at what racialism has wrought, black racialism has fucking destroyed the lives of black people. Sure some of the racialists have political power, but everyone else is worse off, more homeless, damaged by more crime, have had thier families destroyed, their churches are a hive of Leftism, educational attainment has utterly collapsed, so on and so forth.
If you support racialism, all you have to do is look to what it's done to blacks to see the future of whites.
What percentage of blacks are 'dependent on government gibs'? If what you say is true, then the votes of the rest of them are up for grabs - which is not the case.
It depends on the program, for example 36% were on Medicaid/CHIP in 2021.
But to your point, yes, it is not just welfare as a motivation. There are also cultural reasons for why 90% of blacks vote for Democrats.
That would suggest that 64% of blacks would be open to Republicans.
And I think there are many white people who are 'dependent' on the government but who still vote GOP.
Well there was the whole affirmative action thing for quite a while.
Also, while less to do with governments, there's been a sea of diversity-based favoritism in various job markets for the last 15 or so years.
I think the percentage of blacks who benefit from affirmative action is vastly lower than the 36% who someone said get Medicaid.
Polls drive a narrative, which is exactly what OP is talking about. Don’t buy it.
Many polls drive narratives, but this is something that we are seeing reflected in reality. A slow but steady increase in black-republican votes.
