Lessons to learn:
stop expecting/demanding 100% of the Black vote
coalitions are shifting - assuming these numbers hold, Black voters will feel even more comfortable voting GOP and once the smoke clears, post trump I think you will see GOP actually seeking these votes in an organic way - not just two weeks before the election.
Now I’m gonna say something many ppl cannot /will refuse to accept but is actually true. Many many white ppl vote with race in mind, but not with the same intent as KKK/violent white supremacists. And Democrats/liberals need to realize and accept this. These are ppl that probably voted for Obama. They have black friends/colleagues etc. These are ppl whose votes you can get with an explicitly economic conversation.
Dems at some point, maybe Kamala is the one?, will need to make that shift. Stop listening to these dumb ass media consultants (even the black ones) who are so removed from ordinary peoples lives that they’re not even really offering any perspective.
when I see van jones, Arne Duncan and some of these other ppl on tv crying and shyt bc they can’t believe the country voted like this - I just cringe. It’s so weak. It’s pathetic. And it’s one reason that I think a lot of Black ppl didn’t vote Dem. PPl are tired of being infantalized. No one is asking for pity anymore. Yes this country is racist, now what?
These are the professional high income whites who realize trumps inherent instability/unpredictability is not good for business. Many of them probably voted GOP in Senatorial/House races.
Some of these ppl were also turned off to the protests etc. Dems fukkd that up so badly. Mostly bc they listened to the fukking elite media/ivory tower activists and not the people. I love in Chicago and everyone I know that grew up in or still lives in the hood obviously supported BLM but said straight up that they would’ve shut down any of the looting/rioting etc.
excellent point and I agree. They are the fukking worst lol
