As a black dude and life long Democrat for decades. I was a Trump hater for decades. However, then covid hit and I watched one of Trump's pressers. Then I saw Democrats taking a knee and telling people of my color to go out in the streets to protest in a pandemic. That was a wakeup call for me.
Not only me... My extended family all Democrats, we started to get on board. Even my aunt who still hates Trump got on board because of the policies.
It goes beyond me though. I live in Kenosha. We got a visit from Trump and Biden. We all came out to see Trump even drive by. There were my Democrat voting friends in my area wearing Trump gear or waving a Trump flag. We all had a laugh that the jig is up! We all still pretend not to be Trump voters, because we don't want to get accosted.
We all know. We showed up for Biden though. They were still wearing their Trump gear like we'd wear Packer gear for a Bears player that shows up.
Now that we see Biden kick black people to the curb in favor of illegal immigrants, we see it more as "well Trump must have won the black vote." We see white politicians saying "no way am I taking and or allowing the Trump vaccine" suddenly turns into "black people take it first!!" Smells like BS to most of us.
All except 6 counties in 6 states.

It's interesting to hear first hand stories of what changes voters minds. I'm happy you continued to take in information for yourself.
