Exactly. Stop pandering for 1% gains in the black community (who will never vote red)...same goes for muh "based immigrants" who vote 70% blue. Focus on the white and Hispanic vote
Trump gained a lot more than 1% of the black vote in the 2020 election; I'm pretty sure it was the largest share of the black vote a Republican got in decades. I know of several black people, including myself that voted for Trump in 2020, and a few of them didn't vote for him in 2016.
On the other hand, being openly racist towards black people because you think it's not worth the gains means you will not only lose their vote, but the votes of their white friends, their white coworkers, and other white people down the middle you thought you could rely on. All because some of the people here angry about election fraud decided to call a bunch of black people "riggers" because they are acting like it's a smart, stealth way to call them that same word with the R replaced with an N. Rigger isn't a dog whistle, it's a bullhorn, and nobody is being fooled.
And if your rebuttal is "well, Dems will just use Dominion again in 2024, so it's not worth it," then what's the point of having any supporters at all? There are still local and state elections Dominion hasn't touched but can still be lost if legitimate voters turn their back on us because they think the party is full of racists. Dominion doesn't control Florida, for example, which is why Ron DeSantis is governor and not Andrew Gilliam.
I'm against the pandering cringe many of these woke, virtue-signaling SJWs full of white guilt are doing, and I think BLM would have been declared a terrorist organization if everything was exactly the same except it was for white people. But that doesn't mean the solution is to prove the blue checkmarks that think all Trump supporters are racists as correct.

Well said. It's destructive to our party and cause.
