Stop me if you’ve heard this one.
Question…“How do you eat a donkey?”
Answer…”One bite at a time.”
Call it “the elephant’s revenge,” but that Republican Party pachyderm is hungry for more black votes in 2024. And bite by bite, Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are nibbling away at the previously off-limits Democrat electorate.
A recent article appearing in The Epoch Times showed the steady progression of support for Donald Trump in the black community. Shortly after Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, polls revealed only one percent of African-American voters stood behind him. By the time black voters went to the polls in 2016, that number had grown to six percent. Despite media efforts to portray the 45th President as a “hater” and a “racist,” Trump’s black vote doubled to 12 percent in 2020.
Early projections reveal history may repeat itself, yet again. Last summer’s Messenger/Harris poll shocked the left with Trump rising to 25 percent support among black voters. And with the unusual prospect of President Trump making a historic, third run for office in 2024, unexpected voices from within the once-monolithic Democrat stronghold are streaming to Trump’s defense.
One such “loud, proud” Trump supporter is the co-founder of Black Lives Matter/Rhode Island, Mark Fisher. He credits the rapid rise in Trump’s popularity on Bidenomics, the politicized criminal system, and “high-visibility celebrities” and vocal influencers in the community speaking out on Trump’s behalf.
Joe Biden’s crumbling financial system has hit hard virtually all segments of society, and black voters are not immune. They deal daily with rising food, housing, and gas prices.
But ever since the Biden Administration and its local-level, legal lackeys started singling Trump out for persecution and prosecution, more blacks began seeing him as one of their own…unfairly targeted by an out-of-control “injustice” system, badly in need of overhaul or replacement. For many, Donald Trump’s Fulton County jail mugshot sealed the deal and earned their respect.
Fisher told The Epoch Times he wants to create a safe space for all to come together seeking the betterment of America and that…quote…People are welcome to join in on that vision or walk away from it. It's that simple.
Black volunteers working for the former President are countering distorted media portrayals, pointing to Trump’s efforts to create more jobs for blacks, encourage minority entrepreneurship, and promote traditional black universities and colleges.
Back in the ‘90s, Bill Clinton was nicknamed America’s “first black President” simply because he played a mean saxophone. But President Trump doesn’t have to blow his own horn. He is letting his policies and lifestyle do the talking for him…proving that you don’t have to BE black to be seen as an effectively black president.
