Forbes is right for asking this question.
It does resonate with Black voters. First, gang-banger culture is already popular with some parts of the black demographic in the US. So, being a felon who can take a bullet is already an impressive feat to those specific people. Second, all of these people are subject to the corruption of Democratic police, prosecutors, and judges. This means they know what getting railroaded looks like. Third, taking shots at somebody who doesn't know you and gets innocent people killed is a cowardly, bitch-move; when you should be just throwing hands according to Honor Culture.
I'm sorry, but because Democratic policies that have socially destroyed black communities in the US, they have guaranteed that some number of black voters are going to see him as "the realist nigga in the hood". That's why 50 Cent fucking endorsed him.
They may be right for asking the question but how about a few days after as part of reflection after the investigations have been completed and NOT GO STRAIGHT FOR THE POLITICAL NARRATIVE LESS THAN 14 HOURS AFTER THE SHOOTING?!
DEI PROFESSIONAL MY ASS
Yeah, but waiting a few days is never something they've ever done.
The content of this comment applies far more to hispanics than American blacks. Blacks absolutely do not have an honor culture and kill innocent bystanders all the time, just look at the nearest Juneteenth celebration for an example.
That's not what that means. Having an Honor Culture doesn't mean that collateral damage won't occur. I didn't say an "honorable" culture. I mean that it is a culture where honorifics and social status signals are the primary form of currency in society.
I know what honor culture is, you're the one who tied attacking people you don't know and killing innocents into honor culture, not me. Blacks attack people they don't know just for having the wrong affiliation and kill innocents in the crossfire regularly.
Hispanics actually respond to machismo/honorifics in politics much more clearly than blacks do, check out Bush Jr's share of the hispanic vote in '04 sometime.
You don't know what honor culture is. It has nothing to do with aim.
Young, black men traditionally don't vote, even if they can. Which is why you had (cringemaster shit like) MTV's Vote or Die. This is why they are interesting to both parties.
Old, black women vote, and they all vote for Democrats. That's kind of the vote distribution. but there's a lot to tap. People think they're simping pointlessly, but that's only half true. There really aren't many new sources of voters. So you either go try to persuade the 3% (or maybe even 0.3%) of undecided voters in swing states. or you try to find someone who isn't going to vote and get them to vote.
Actually, from all the data I've seen. Trump has fucking mastered getting out low probability, no probability, and new voters. He's figured out something I've been talking about for years. The largest political bloc in society is currently the politically disaffected and unengaged, who are upset with the process as it stands. Trump is winning a ton of rural blacks who typically just never vote, or never voted.
Strangely enough, the stats of 2020 weren't wrong. The demographic he struggles with the most is Union Dem style working-class older white men. He's basically got almost all he'll ever get.
Getting out any vote is what it's all about. Some people act like these guys are equally establishment right now. Which is kind of ridiculous, cuz one got convicted and shot at and one didn't.
"So establishment, I'm going to have myself shot in the face."
He endorsed Trump? Didn’t know that
If he hasn't explicitly done it, he's been implicitly doing it on Twitter.
