I'd like blacks, whites, etc. to tell us why they vote for the Democrats continually. They never give a reason other then "well the GOP is racist". Is that all they've got to say about the reasons they continue to vote for them? Makes no sense to me. You're not a politician so why would they blame the entire GOP for what you said anyway? Yes, the truth cuts deep and that's the bottom line but it certainly isn't a racist thing to say.

And if you're calling me an idiot for taking issue with your "kool-aid" comment, that shows something about your mentality. Your comments are not going to make me want to vote GOP more. All I get out of you is anger and resentment. Until you can give me a reason to WANT TO vote GOP much more, then, nice try, but no cigar.

Then why the "kool-aid" comments? If you don't care, you wouldn't have made such comments. I really don't get your thinking. All I see is anger and resentment. And I can't think of a reason to ascertain anything else out of it.

https://www.sd49gop.com/10_reasons_to_vote_republican

I would only add to the above list that the Republicans want secure borders and to rid our country of illegal aliens. What black person could argue with that? However, in keeping with the topic heading Latinos won't vote for them for that very reason.

I'm sure I'll get nothing but crickets from the Democrat voting blacks in here though as they have no counter arguments. Socialism and the the false claims by the Democrats that the Republicans are racists overrules the sane policies above.

I guess he can't stand constructive criticsizm nor the truth so therefore he puts his fingers in his ears and says "your insulting me" so I won't vote for your party. He has yet to state the reasons he votes for the Democrats policy wise and he never will. Why would blacks want illegal aliens running rampant in our country that reduces all Americans job opportunities (including blacks) reduces wages, increases our taxes, dilutes our natural and social resources and overcrowds our cities?

I call it racism as part of their reason because illegal aliens are minorities and they are salivating over the depletion of white Americans in our country, that and the socialism of the Democrats. Let them prove me wrong! They never will though as they know I am right.

All the posters are asking is why blacks and other minorities vote Democrat. Why get all touchy and sensitive over it? I'll gladly state why I vote Republican even if I'm called stupid by the left for it. See how that works? It's a tell all that the above refuse to enlighten us as to why they won't answer the above question. Instead they whine, "oh you're picking on me and calling me names", blah, blah, blah. It's just an excuse not to answer as the truth isn't very attractive for them.

Latinos vote for republicans more than any other "minority" group in the US. The trend is only becoming greater because democrats seem too dense to believe that 2nd and 3rd generation latinos actually prefer strong borders and assimilation.

More so than asians and africans - Latinos, especially those in places like Arizona, Florida and Texas, - tend to assimilate faster and more seamlessly into American society and tend to be more likely to identify as American after the 2nd or 3rd generation. Meanwhile, asians for some reason tend to stick with the "mother" culture for far longer, and perhaps because of that they are a very solid democrat voting block - often times rivaling the black population.

Ergo, the democrats are in trouble if this trend persists because at least a sizable fraction of Latinos can see right through the woke bulls**t the democrats have fully embraced.

Not a Democrat but I'm a minority so I think I can explain. It's a matter combination of 3 threes: mass marketing, urban concentrations, and emotional appeal.

The Democrats have a very minority focused marketing strategy in which they specifically cater to the perceived needs and desires of the different demographics within their voter base whereas the GOP strategy is more of a "Big Tent" philosophy where there's far less focus on marketing to different groups to court votes. The Democrats are more likely to push their marketing in predominately Black areas and institutions such as schools, churches, etc. I'm not a Democrat yet I've encountered the mayor and other DNC politicians in my "majority-minority" city many times, including the building I currently work in. Meanwhile, I literally had to do a deep Google search on who even ran for the GOP in the last race due to the non-existent promotion and urban presence in my community. I voted for a random GOP candidate in the last election with very limited information and no contact.

Secondly, you have to remember that most minority(especially Black) populations are concentrated in city areas where Republicans tend to fare off the worst, even amongst urban Whites. Republicans do best in suburban and rural areas where they pull the most votes. This explains the lack of balance between how GOP and DNC candidates get promoted and marketed in urban cities such as mine but it also suggests that many urban Black/minority voters may not even be aware of the Republicans running in their own cities. And the GOP candidates in most urban areas seem to already accept their defeats before election time. It's simply hard in general for Republicans to resonate with urban voters even if they're White(See: Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland).

Lastly, it's emotional appeal. Democrats are like a male relationship guru who tells his female audience exactly what they want to hear and says that men need to step up their game when it comes to women.

Women will naturally support a guru like this over someone like Kevin Samuels or Jordan Peterson who actually give women cold/un-PC but sound advice for maintaining families and financially supporting themselves without depending on men. They get labeled "misogynistic" anyway.

I personally never cared for politicians sugarcoating the issues or excessively pandering and I've always been Bi-Partisan so the DNC marketing towards minorities which promises safety nets and "victories" against racism never meant jack to me.

But many minorities, especially women, fall for it because Democrats generally make bold economic and fiscal promises for minorities in terms of safety nets, infrastructure, child care, minimum wage hikes, etc. while portraying Republicans as greedy racists who view them as "welfare queens."

There's a lot more to it than that but I hope I at least broke down the fundamental aspect.
