If we are judging solely by the screen shot you posted, most black folks do.

You know what they meant lol. Sure a majority of black people aren’t voting for him, but the numbers took them by surprise. To see that even 21% of Black people support Trump is alarming, especially considering his take on black people.

I guess I’m just desensitized to it now. (Which is probably not good 🤷🏾‍♂️) Especially after seeing how many back folks were in attendance at the RNC this year cheering on Hulk Hogan and Amber Rose. To me personally that was more alarming as it put faces to a portion of that 21%.

It really does shock me that here are that many Candace Ownes Among us. I expect one or two but damn

Candace is getting paid at least

Its partially because Candace is getting paid. It;s working out for her. So if it works for her it must work for me right?

I think some people enjoy being contrarian. A politician should absolutely work to earn your vote, but not voting Democrat just because you feel like it’s “expected” of you doesn’t seem like a good enough reason, at least to me.

It isn't the Candace Owens, it is the Ben Carsons. The breakdown between that 76%/21% into black women and black men will be very telling as to who is and isn't supporting him and an ideas as to why.

I think Candace ownes is fake. I think Trump is fake. However kmahala harris and biden has done more harmful things to black ppl and arguably more racists. If I was forced to vote it would be Trump

Actually surprised most don't understand that by now

I don’t know what they could do more harmful than ensuring that the Supreme Court is as far right as possible for the rest of our lives. Since 91 we’ve been dealing with Uncle Clarence and a majority conservative Supreme Court. Thurgood Marshall stepped down and was replaced with this sellout who has been getting bribe money from Nazi Memorabilia collector, billionaire, Harlan Crowe.

The war on drugs the right had been begging for since Nixon, and ramped up aggressively under Reagan after they got Tip O’Neill to flip his vote following the Len Bias OD (Len died in DC the day he was drafted to Speaker of the House Tip’s hometown of Boston) did more to devestate the black community than anything since Jim Crow and segregation. The far right court has disenfranchised black voters for decades allowing anti black “States Rights” policies across the south, and defanging the voting rights act among other policies.

Smarten up bro if you’re forced to vote understand this isn’t checkers. It’s a system of checks and balances with an executive branch, bicameral legislative branch and the end game of the Supreme Court, which is hand picked by the executive. Vote progressive down the line or the judicial will continue to fuck over you and people like you for generations to come.

Who in the fuck said you had to vote for Kamala because she has black skin?! Voting for Kamala because her policies don’t intentionally look to hurt black people, her policies don’t marginalize black people. Trumps policies and his actions deliberately, intentionally hurt minorities and lastly his “good people on both sides” comment is more than enough to keep me from ever voting for that fat fuck. Boy don’t ever try and tell me I’m voting for someone just because of their skin color, put me in a fucking box as if I’m too dumb to understand policies and who they affect. Gtfo
