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, specifically men, who manage to climb into the middle class might be slightly more inclined to support Trump-like populists. Not conservatives, and even then, it will be a minority of them. I could see a future where 20% of black men vote for someone like Trump. But their support for rightist populism won't last longer than that particularly charismatic candidate does.
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.
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.
