Is this some sort of way for Boomers to finally be vindicated for being called racists the last 60 years?

Gawd this right here is the cause of all our problems. And GenX and older half of millennials had to deal and live with the repercussions of Boomer white guilt. So many got cucked like no other.

We do need the 15-20% but need them in key areas due the EC. That's it. We need to remind all Americans that POTUS is the leader of all Americans not certain sectors. His job is to make general improvements for ALL not individual groups. That is what causes division, and what Democrats do.

But stop being cucked by chasing specific race votes. Everyone wants the core needs to be happy and safe. Focus on that.

The black voters in this country are hurting FAR more than the rich white suburban box of wine drinking brainwashed woke women

Just think about it. The white liberal women are brainwashed and will never ever vote for Trump. Their lives are not hurting because they are rich and they don’t feel the pain.

When voters don’t feel the pain front the economy, safety, etc - they vote on the issues like Abortion, women’s equality, LGBTQ shite, etc

The blacks are feeling the pain in inner cities. That’s why he is going after the black vote and it’s working. No Republican in the history of this country has ever had the black support like Trump has

There are like 5 places the black vote matters:
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Detroit
Milwaukee
Atlanta

In those areas the Democrat will get 95% of the vote on above average turnout.

This is because Democrats produce that vote in a manufacturing process designed to produce that number. It's not new. It's been in place for decades. Due to technology and mail ballots it's only become more efficient.

Trump could get 20%+ nationally among blacks but it doesn't mean a damn thing because he's doing it in places Democrats don't care about the black vote.

Who cares if more blacks vote for Trump in states Trump will win by 15 points. In places like Memphis, or Jackson, or Birmingham or Tallahassee. Democrats don't give a shite.

Democrats will get their number in the places that matter by hook or by crook.

It's a total waste of time and resources for Trump.

It’s not a waste of time. It’s genius. The black Trump supporters are the most vocal

The problem isn't necessarily them being in the camp. The problem is getting them to the polls.
There are a ton of middle class white men who have no interest in engaging in politics whatsoever and don't even bother voting.

Thank you!

Republicans are completely clueless on how Democrats get votes.

Republicans are still stuck behind time on the 1980s. Democrats do not care about winning with ideas. They simply buy off the leaders of "voting blocks", who then go get the votes for them. It's a machine process. And has nothing to do with convincing an extra few percentage of black people to vote GOP.

They own the churches, the pastors, the community leaders in all these various blocks. Unless the Republican Party wants to get their hands dirty in that racket, they should quit tilting windmills and go win where they can win with white men.

There’s a pocket of the Republican Party that doesn’t like to party with blacks…

Blacks are typically conservative and everyone thinks they'll be the one to break through, but they need to give it up at least for now. Black voting is basically a cartel run by their churches. So long as the top keeps getting paid off, the average voter will continue to vote Dem

It's going to take alot to overcome the death grip that the black organizations/churches have over the black voting block. It is a machine, that is ultimately ran by whites at the top (let's face it many of the whites are well, uh, a certain type of white, well nevermind)

It needs to start with black men committing to a moral lifestyle and wanting to have families, and taking charge of their families. They are going to have to figure that out on their own, because it won't work if whites come in as the savior.

13% of the US population doesn’t elect anyone POTUS.

Why we go to the lengths we go to involve and talk about the black vote in this country is mind boggling.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND this?

And that is white men.

any MAN, especially a white man, who is not already a conservative is probably unreachable. I agree that we should be strongly shaping a message for black and hispanic men however = especially the younger first time voter bunch. They may still being influenced by their mothers and girl friends, and need to have some 'manly words' wrt to truth and honor delivered to them.

Exactly - those white women are brainwashed - He has tried to convince them for years to support him but they are too gone - so, he is going after other potential voters like blacks, Asians, Hispanics, REGULAR gays, etc

What I mean by REGULAR Gays - the ones who do not want to be associated or labeled as LGBQT - but just want to live a normal, regular life with their partner

Exactly

Republicans automatically start 10 to 12 pts down in every national election. If Republicans even got 20% of the black it would be a huge blow to the Dems.

The black vote is the only reason the Democrats are a relevant political party.
