1. I don't think you'll find a lot of Trump voters, African American or not, on DU.

[WarGamer]

2. hyperbole, of course... but I support your right to say it.

3. An alarming and disconcerning number of Black males and Hispanic males have

... have jumped the fence and joined the Orange Menace for president come 2024.

It seems they are enthralled by the alpha male shtick - Reality TV theatrics - former president pantload projects.

It makes me vomit a little bit in the back of my throat to see people of color support and endorse the shit stink Fascist buffoon.

4. Don't believe it. I'm a Black man and have no friends or family members....

male or female, who have anything but disgust at trump and magats. And this sentiment was re-enforced strongly during just past holiday gatherings.

It's false hype promoted by magats through disinformation and manipulated polls.

5. People pf color drifting toward trDUMP.

New York Times/Siena College polling painted a worrisome picture of the president’s standing with a crucial constituency. Democratic strategists warned that the erosion could threaten his re-election.

The Evidence Mounts: Hispanic Voters Are Drifting Toward the GOP
By Ruy Teixeira

The Washington Post

July 06, 2023

The day before (and after) Donald Trump was indicted on 37 federal counts, he chose to devote his time to outreach among Latino voters, giving interviews and visiting a local Miami restaurant. This is not surprising given the surge in Hispanic support he enjoyed in his 2020 reelection bid. He obviously wants to build on that support in 2024.

Can he — or another Republican candidate — do so? To answer this question, it is first necessary to understand the scale and breadth of the Hispanic shift toward the GOP in 2020. Start with Florida, where Trump won half the Hispanic vote, surging among Republican-leaning Cuban Americans and Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics.

9. Many Hispanics in Florida - especially southern FL - have always been conservative.

The Cuban expat community in Miami is very conservative, for generations. Many wealthy immigrants from South America living in Florida are very right wing.

24. Nothing hew about Cubans in Florida being republican. That's been...

been in place for generations since they fled from Castro.

[brush]

27. There was just an OP here about republican outreach centers in Hispanic...

neighborhoods closing. Not enthusiastic responses so the party is pulling the funds/rent and closing them down.

I'll do a search for it.

[yardwork]

7. And it's condescending as hell.

The media makes a big deal out of it and ridiculous stereotypes are trotted out.

Meanwhile. The truth is that without Black voters in 2020, Trump would have been reelected.

If we're going to point fingers at racial/ethnic groups and accuse them of stereotypical beliefs, let's start with white people. I'm white - a lifelong Democrat - but I absolutely think there's something wrong with a lot of white people in the U.S. Too many of us are racist, ignorant, and fearful. Let's start with that.

[Emile]

8. So true!

[brush]

25. Amen.

[Polybius]

12. I work with two black men who will vote for Trump

One openly admits that Trump is "a little racist" even, but says stuff like "he'd build the wall and seal the border, not let Russia invade Ukraine, be great for the economy and stock market, and tariffs for China."

[yardwork]

13. And how many white men do you know who will vote for Trump?

[Polybius]

14. All but two personally

I live in the Reddest part of Staten Island, it's crazy here.

[brush]

15. Ridiculous. Says trump is racist but will vote for him. He's one of the ones who never get invited to the cookout.

Black men voted Democratic in the high 80s percentile...always have. Toms not welcome.

20. Hello.

[KS Toronado]

21. Team is on high alert this morning

[GP6971]

23. That we are!!

[redqueen]

26. Many of my neighbors are Black.

I have been trying for years to get them to vote for Dems. It hasn't worked.

It may because we're in a rural area, I don't know. I keep trying though.

[brush]

28. Keep trying pls. Most of the Black population is urban and suberbanl

[redqueen]

30. You know I will!

I'll never give up

[yardwork]

6. Black and brown men overwhelmingly support Democrats.

In election after election after election, African Americans and Latinos show up and vote for Democrats.

It's white people - a demographic to which I belong - who voted for Trump. White people vote for Republicans.

We need to stop complaining that a small number of non-white people vote Republican and confront the fact that a majority of white people are the ones putting Republicans like Trump in power.

[magicarpet]

10. Nice spin making my comment a racist issue.

The point being trDUMP is making major inroads in the vote of people of color to switch to the GOP with their vote.

In many swing states where Biden won over trDUMP the margin was tissue paper thin amounting to less than 10,000 votes.

Democratic messaging must include the ability to communicate that GOP support for people of color is a charade. Dems will and do enact policies to advance the Asian, Hispanic, and Black communities. Dems walk the walk - not just promise the sky and deliver zero like the ReThugs. Don't fall for the GOP happy talk.

[yardwork]

11. I didn't say "racist" but if you reread your post you might want to think about it.

I have no idea what you mean about "falling for GOP happy talk." Is there any GOP happy talk?

It's simply false that Trump is making "major inroads" with Black voters. It is true that Hispanic voters are leaning Republican more than before. It is true that Democrats can't take anyone for granted and must get out the vote with strong messaging.

I will not stand by and allow the fact that a majority of white voters always vote Republicans be ignored. We white people have work to do with our families, friends and neighbors. We need to stop counting on people of color to save our democracy, and worst of all, blaming THEM for lost elections when it's our demographic that always votes Republican.

Fix our own house.

[magicarpet]

17. GOP Happy Talk,...

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is the walking, talking, and trDUMP is the Messiah of the USA defender.

Check out this Roland Martin clip addressing this very issue.

Many people of color fall for this bullshit. The 18 to 40 demographic is especially susceptible because they only focus on political issues superficially and in passing - but often not in depth.

The Democratic Party can not afford to lose any voters for Biden. In 2020 Biden won many of the swing states by razor thin margins.

The messaging from the Dem Party needs to be taken up a notch to clearly explain how much Biden has done to make vast improvement for minority communities rather than fall for and blindly believe trDUMP'S lies.

22. Most people of color do NOT "fall for this bullshit."

Most people of color don't believe Trump and never have. It's the majority of white people who believe Trump. Since we're in the majority, numbers wise, we white people are the biggest problem.

[brush]

16. Election day is the only poll that counts. Get back to us then when Black men vote blue again..;

in the high '80s percentile as we have election after election. Give it a rest.

[brush]

29. Exactly. We're not stupid. Why would we vote for that racist party that hates Blacks/POCs?
