Trump is surging with black voters, but so what?
Here we go again with the nonsense that black voters will tilt the election in Trump's favor
So tonight I was browsing the front page of the Daily Mail, and came across an amusing story. It seems that Trump is “surging” with black voters, and this is considered to be big news and a slap in Biden’s face:
Former President Donald Trump is surging with a voter bloc you might not expect.
Black voters are flocking to Trump in huge numbers, while simultaneously leaving the side of President Joe Biden, CNN's average of polls showed.
Trump's support among Black voters surged to 22 percent compared to 2020, when the 45th president only had the support of 9 percent of the demographic.
Biden, on the other hand, saw his 81 percent of Black voter support in 2020 dip to 69 percent.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten said this could be a 'troubling sign' for the Biden campaign, which heavily relied on Black voters to get him into the White House last time around.
On the surface, this seems like great news, right? Without black voters, Biden’s goose is cooked, and Trump will surely win, according to most regime media sources. Yet, haven’t we been here before? Didn’t we see similar stories back in 2020?
I remember back in the 2020 campaign when Trump ignored working-class, white voters in favor of the “platinum plan” that was going to bring in tons of black voters. Blacks were going to rally to Trump’s side, and Biden would be crushed in the general election. A new Republican Party would be born, and blacks would be a big part of its voting base.
Except it didn’t happen.
The end result of Trump running around, desperately trying to get black voters was that many white males either stayed home after realizing they had been betrayed by Don the Con, or they voted for Biden. They knew Trump didn’t give a damn about them, and so they walked away from him. As I have pointed out numerous times, Trump never learned the most fundamental lesson of politics: You stick with the people that put you in office; you don’t abandon them to chase another group with a long history of voting for your opponent’s party.
And those black voters Trump spent so much time and money chasing? They voted for the Democrats, as most of them always do. What do you think is going to happen in November? Are you naive enough to believe that anything is different this time? No, it is not different, and when the results are counted in November, around 90% or more of blacks will be right back to voting for the Democrat on the ballot.
I concede that the Pedophile-in-Chief has been a disaster on a scale that no one expected when he stole the election in 2020. I could write another 5,000 words about the mistakes, arrogance, and sheer stupidity of his administration. I once thought Obama was the worst president ever, and then Biden weaseled his way into the White House and promptly proved me wrong.
If you ask me, these stories about blacks moving to Trump are boob bait for Trump and his team, and for his supporters. It’s an attempt to gaslight them into wasting resources once again chasing black votes instead of focusing on white, working-class people. And, given his stupidity last time, I don’t doubt that Fat Orange Retard will take the bait once again.
When will Trump and the rest of the Republicans learn? They will never get and hold a significant portion of the Black voting base in this country. Never. Yet they continue to chase this phantom over and over again. Each election ends the same way: Black voters stick with the Democrats, and Republicans end up with egg on their faces.
Part of this foolishness is the result of the desperate need by Trump and the rest of the Republicans to prove that they are “not racist.” Getting anyone with brown skin into their party is more important to them than doing anything for the people who actually voted for them. It’s another knife in the back for white male voters by the Republican Party.
It will be very interesting to see if Trump takes the bait this time around and pours resources, money, and time into trying to get more black votes. If he does, then he deserves to lose the election. He’d do better if he attempted to mobilize the white, working-class vote. But that would require that he connect with those voters, understand their needs, and then craft policies to benefit them. It would also mean he’d have to try to implement those policies if he takes office again.
Naaaah, then he’d be racist, right? 🙄

Well, there is definitely a movement away from Biden with black voters, especially among black men. I know some of them, and they really will vote for Trump. Not so much because they like him or believe him, but because they are sick of the Democrats and want to poke a finger in their eye.
Even if enough black voters simply stay home, that swings states like Michigan and Pennsylvania into Trump's column.
If Trump wins, that won't be the main reason, though. Inflation, inflation, inflation. That's the reason. I saw it kill first Gerald Ford and then Jimmy Carter. Just because the media doesn't talk about how angry inflation makes people doesn't mean it doesn't.
Objective fact: Red State = Black State.
The Whitest states in the USA are also the wokest. This became apparent to me over 40 years ago when I went to a university that had a lot of yankees.
The Left is playing the race card as hard as it can because that is their vulnerability. If conservative Blacks vote their interest, then Team D needs to reel it in and behave like an patriotic sane political party again.
There are some inherently bad policies which have a disparate impact on the Black population. The Right should get its act together and fix them.
