60+ years of “vote for me and I’ll set you free” combined with off season degradation and fear mongering, and some blacks are finally figuring it out. It should be a lesson to all the other minorities. You are a useful idiot as long as they think you’re useful. Then you are just an idiot.

At least for now, the Rs have started to actually keep some promises, even if they had to be dragged into it by DJT while kicking screaming (and subverting) all the way.
Of course the writer isn't oblivious to the fact that infantilizing rhetoric like this, which presumes that the ideologically and socioecomically diverse Black American electorate is too stupid to know how to vote properly, is representative of the very thing that keeps us so very far away from the GOP, but we can pretend that this is actually supposed to be a serious appeal to such voters and not the value-signaling propaganda piece it truly is.
One must also presume, then, that they know that their kids aren't being taught to read or do math at grade level in the public school system. Why isn't there any outrage over that? Why aren't there any marches over that? Why hasn't one black elected representative addressed that, even the esteemed Hakeem Jeffries? But no, mum's the word.
