There’s a common myth that Nixon’s southern strategy in the late 60s caused black voters to switch from Republican to Democrat. The switch actually happened in the 1930s under FDR, and became especially entrenched during the LBJ administration

Besides me not having to wear sunscreen, not having MAGAs in my family is the best part about being Black.
There’s exactly one person in my family who voted Trump and we all pity him.
Now, I did marry a white woman so half my holidays involve “lively discussions” with MAGA 🤷🏾♂️

A whole lot of things really don’t make any sense about this election.
If everyone who usually votes democrat voted, then how the hell did we lose? The excuse “she was a bad candidate” doesn’t hold water with data like this.

So there was basically no change between 2020 and 2024?

Kind of insane Dems didn’t win the white vote immediately after Watergate

It’s darkly hilarious how, as the Democratic Party collapsed with white voters during Carter’s term and Reagan’s first term, it *improved* with black voters because they could see where Reagan was taking Republicans

Kind of seems like the GOP gets like average 10 percent of the black vote.
