Black Men have voted for the Democratic Party 80%-95% since 1972 and rightfully so because the party has delivered policy that benefits them. That doesn’t mean we don’t have expectations for better policy and governance. The idea that large numbers of Black men are supporting Trump is a false flag as strategy to disrupt. Black men want to be heard. Don’t scapegoat us for the lack of support from White women. We only have a little more than 50% of their vote. Misogyny exists and is preventing support of Kamala Harris but any politician out there would welcome the 85% of the Black men vote. Appeal to their self determination don’t condescend to an important party demographic.

They don’t need a large number. They need just a few. And there are a few who are white supremacy in black face or listening to Jill Stein (the Amazon guy). The Republicans Party ARE investing and targeting areas to flip a few black men. It has happened in the Ogden and Davis County areas of Utah. They drop a bit to this guy or that guy and the next thing you know they have Black men (and a few Black women) showing up to vote against DEI and calling it racists. It is happening. I’ve seen it. They also got Black people on board with the anti-CRT hoopla by doing the same thing. If they are successful, all of these men will be tossed out with the baby and the bath water.

You are correct, only a few percentage points will swing this election. The best messaging to one of your most loyal demographic groups is not condescension. It’s reinforcing the reason they vote for your party in the first place. To single out Black men NOT voting for the party is to ignore where we have lost support in larger measure with Latinos, White men, young voters, and White women.

Let’s talk about these white men though .. they are the ones powering Trump into office, and they aren’t held accountable at all. It’s as if people have just accepted that there’s a swath of white men we should just expect to be terrible.

Nobody is scapegoating Black men. I need you all stop & actually listen to what is happening. U have a number of Black men who stated loudly and often they were not voting for Kamala.

We will show up for her. The only demographic that partners with Black woman to vote for Democrats in record numbers is us. These other fools are running an op. We’re not distracted tho.

Trump got 12% of the Black vote in 2020.
There's NO WAY he's gaining on that percentage.
He won't have a noticeable increase in Black men
When that day comes, the GOP will get the same percentage of Black vote they've been getting
Trump- 12%
GW Bush- 9%
GHW Bush-11%
Reagan- 10%
