Just talked to a voter and they told me they wanted me to talk to their son claiming didn’t want to vote for Biden because guns and the 94 crime bill. She had already voted. She was also shocked by the amount of Black men she knew that are even considering voting for Trump.
The GOP is targeting young Black Male voters as well as Hispanic Male Voters with misinformation and it is working in small numbers. Small numbers add up in tight races. We laugh about it on the TL but some way their message is getting through to those men. That worries me man.
My organizers and I have been calling across Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and many more. I’m not saying this just to say it. This is a problem man. The percentage of Black men supporting Trump is small but it’s still alarming and we Brothers gotta fix this.
It’s really disappointing hearing a Black mother talk about taking her son w/her as a child and reminding him how excited he was when he cast his ballot for the first time in 2016 only for him to say he’s not showing up this election. This isn’t a sob story though.
I’m not discouraged and nearly was she. She’s still determined to get him in the booth on November 3rd. She talks to her son every day about voting even it that means just voting for local elections. I made sure to email her some info to clear up the misinformation he’s receiving
