Signs of a Culture Shift but will it be Enough to Change Things.

Will black American voters manage to evade the vice grip of the Dem party for the first time in some sixty odd years.

While there are signs that the old patterns they are a-changing will a swing be enough for them to break free from the chains.

Maybe it is too much of a stretch to announce that blacks have broken out of the box and turned their backs on identity politics; at least not just yet. Although I must say things look promising.

Things are not what they were even four years ago.

The Biden Admin has been fixated with illegals and the Trans; and these two things have helped to move it along.

There is much more of course; one can sense the shift playing out all around in real time like never before.

Blacks are saying stuff like stuff the Dems. This is not working. Even Trump has earned a type of non-grudging respect. Sentiments like; Trump is one of us, he stands for We the people, are heard more and more. Or he is a straight talking kind of guy; and I like that.

The lawfare against Trump has not gone unnoticed either; it has helped to fan the flame. I mean you have people saying; if they could do this to Trump, just think, they can do it to any one of us. What is more they are right. In fact they are even more at risk.

Here is the thing higher profile blacks are leading the charge. They are paving the way for others to follow. They are the new models.

Trump is getting endorsed for president by these folk and this is a huge win.

I speak of the music artists, the content creators and the influencers on big platforms. Anyone with eyes can see their threads get a huge response. As for the interactions; well it is quite phenomenal.

It is true there are no black religious leaders who willing to join in with the chorus. Well none that we know of. This is just an indictment of the sorry state of the faith in America. Democrats are fond of backing race baiting reverends to sway the views of people in their pews. Well hello Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpe to name two.

That is how they got their big start to get blacks to vote democrat as a bloc. It is a throw-back to when people looked to leaders of the faith for guidance.

I see a swing to the Republican Party by black Americans; due to, not in spite of MAGA, this November.

The question is will a Trump victory be allowed to stand?

If not, the question of change will be an abstract one only.
