It’s kinda wild seeing pics of so many police officers all over

the USA wearing so much paramilitary gear they look like

Robocops while some doctors in our hospitals are

still wearing garbage bags for PPE.

ALL the problems emanate from Democrat precincts We need to - as a country - figure out how to move forward in spite of Democrats. Any ideas?

yeah...cut off all net federal financial transfers (from taxes and spending) between Democratic and Republican precincts

Black people have voted democrat for 100 years. How has it worked out for them?

a little history

blacks were mostly Republicans from the Civil War to the 1930s...they turned against Hoover and the Republicans because of ineffectiveness dealing with the Depression...but they didn't become overwhelmingly Democratic until 1964 (LBJ vs Goldwater)...LBJ famously said that "we have lost the South for a generation" after he signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act...and they have indeed lost the South...actually for more than one generation...I think black voters are open to voting for either party...the thing that has kept them loyal Democrats is the Southern Strategy pursued by the GOP...this Southern Strategy is a fusion of ideas that appeal to cultural conservatism and white racial grievance...the cultural conservatism is actually a potential selling point to many black voters...but they refuse to overlook the second part and I can't say I blame them

I think they should keep voting blue.

After all, they are suddenly not black anymore if they dont

Speaking of which, isn't it fascinating how black voters routinely vote for the party that found the KKK, but not for the party that freed their ancestors from slavery.

Crazy stuff!
