You got to dance with who brung you
Swing with who swung you
Don't be a fickle fool
Black voters did not support Trump in 2016. 10:1 they voted against him. Again in 2018. And again in 2020. Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, owe Black voters nothing.
The point of a democratic system is to build the smallest possible winning coalition. A 51% coalition is preferable to a 60% coalition because each member of the coalition gets a larger share of the spoils. Granting spoils to people who were not part of the coalition, and who are, in fact, your most active opposition, is a betrayal of the people who won you your office. Every day he spent pandering after Black votes was a day he was not working to benefit White, heartland America.

Can you make a post on this? I like Trump and pedes here but why wasn’t there a pushback of the base against the pandering?
