The Democrat party viewed race politics as their ticket to one-party rule. They were going to run that play all the way to the end zone, until they turned enough states permanently blue that the GOP could never win another presidency. The race grift was bulletproof.
So they thought.
The Left believed they could do anything, not matter how destructive, no matter how degenerate, no matter how imbecilic, because as long as they spewed the right rhetoric they would never lose the loyalty of blacks and Hispanics.
The grift was simple: keep fooling minorities into believing Democrats care about them and keep telling them Republicans and conservatives are racist. All conservatives, all the time, even the black and brown ones. Yeah, they’re racist too.
And for a long time it worked.
But now, it seems, the jig is up. A recent analysis from The New York Times says Democrats are bleeding voters all over the country and across every race demographic:
Mr. Trump has steadily gained steam across a broad swath of the nation, with swelling support not just in white working-class communities but also in counties with sizable Black and Hispanic populations.
Counties that have become steadily more Republican exist in some of the country’s bluest strongholds, including New York City, Philadelphia and Honolulu. Mr. Trump’s party is still losing in those places, but by significantly less. …
In last year’s election, Republicans gained ground in 193 of the country’s 200 most predominantly Black counties — even as former Vice President Kamala Harris stood to become the first Black female president.
The overall picture is even worse for Democrats:
All told, Mr. Trump has increased the Republican Party’s share of the presidential vote in each election he’s been on the ballot in close to half the counties in America — 1,433 in all — according to an analysis by The New York Times.
It is a staggering political achievement, especially considering that Mr. Trump was defeated in the second of those three races, in 2020.
By contrast, Democrats have steadily expanded their vote share in those three elections in only 57 of the nation’s 3,100-plus counties.
(It’s not that staggering of an achievement when you know he legitimately won all three elections.)
