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.
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.
So they're not qualifying for Medicaid/CHIP, but are qualifying for other 'gibs' for which the standards are lower? Alright, then take how many use those.
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.
Probably, but it's still a fairly high expenditure even so.
But we're not talking about whether or not expenditure is high or low, but whether or not 'government benefits' prevent blacks from being Republicans. If only a small portion of blacks benefit, but the rest don't vote GOP either, it's clearly not that.
(Not that there's much difference between Republicans and Democrats regarding government benefits, or anything.)
