polls and more and more black conservatives gaining a voice in the political realm .
Polls, interesting. Let’s look at the exit polls in the last several presidential elections.
2000: Black people voted blue by 81 points. They made up 10% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 8,540,000 votes.
2004: Black people voted blue by 77 points. They made up 11% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 10,360,000 votes.
2008: Black people voted blue by 91 points. They made up 13% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 15,530,000 votes.
2012: Black people voted blue by 87 points. They made up 13% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 14,600,000 votes.
2016: Black people voted blue by 80 points. They made up 12% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 13,120,000 votes.
2020: Black people voted blue by 75 points. They made up 13% of all votes.
Net gain for Democrats: 15,440,000 votes.
There’s a few things happening with the data. I can see a downward trend with how likely black people are to vote blue, which is what you’re bringing up. However, the other side of this equation is the fact that black people are becoming a bigger part of the electorate.
From 2000 to 2020, they have gone from 10% of voters to 13% of voters. That might not seem like much, but it’s huge. For comparison, white people have dropped from 81% to 67% of all voters in this same time span.
Declining rate of Democrat voters but an increasing percentage of all voters. What this means in real numbers is an increasing advantage to Democrats.
Now conservatives want to remove a right that black people use, which will also grow their population more rapidly. You sure you’re ok with adding more black voters?
