Thanks to the legacy media, so many of these things would just assault the minds of Americans, including the black community, who were always told unmitigated racism dressed in a white hood was waiting for them around every corner. Hatred for the Republican Party among the black community was pretty evident, especially in the exit polls. 

But in the recent past, many black people have been asking what it is the Democrats are doing to help. Time after time, they put their trust in Democrat politicians, and neighborhoods that needed action the most were still awful years later. Then Donald Trump came along, and those questions got louder. Trump actually did improve their lives, and not with free handouts like the Democrats like to rely on, but with opportunities. 

Fast-forward to today, and black Republican voters are a bit more common than they used to be. What's more, they're openly telling CNN that despite all the fearmongering the press is doing, they have no regrets. 

In a recent interview with Van Jones, black Trump voters sang the president's praises even as Van Jones was attempting to get them to speak negatively about him using the left's favorite weapon, race-based fearmongering. 

“Donald Trump’s team went in, they took down Harriet Tubman’s pictures for a quick minute,” Jones said. “They’re trying to, like, knock out the black museums. What does that have to do with the price of eggs, and how does that impact you?”

“In some ways, it’s a slap in the face. In other ways, I don’t care,” said voter Seth Dawkins. “I care more about how I’m going to take care of my children.”

Dawkins laid out something very plain: that he doesn't care if Trump does things that make him mad personally (in fact, Dawkins liked the fact that Trump is an "a**hole"), all that matters is that he's better off under Trump than he was under Democrats. Results are what's shaping his opinion, not perceived fears. 

And it's not like the left still isn't trying to scare people. 

Here was Amber Ruffin, a woman who I'm told is a comedian. While on "The View," she poured out that leftist fearmongering Kool-Aid like it was going bad. 

"I’m Black; I’m terrified. I’m scared for my trans friends. People we know and love—our neighbors—are being disappeared. That was the goal, and he did it."

Ruffin went on to say she feels less welcome in her "home" than she did under Biden and that the feeling of fear and unease was the point. Trump making people feel like they're in danger, and could be "disappeared" at any moment, was what he wanted, according to Ruffin. What's more, as she spoke, you could hear the women of "The View" validating her the entire time. 

This is just more fearmongering from the left.

But who believes this anymore? 

Too many, to be sure, but let's be absolutely real; even the people who say they believe this stuff don't. If they did, they wouldn't be so out in the open saying things like this so comfortably. Moreover, as they continue to say these things, more and more people like Dawkins tune out. Many in the black community are just as happy to remove illegal aliens and have an economic turnaround as white people were. 

I think we're really seeing a change-up here. While I think the black community will still predominantly lean Democrat for a few more election cycles, something is going to break when all the fears the Democrats attempted to force on the black community never come to pass, and the Republicans continue to show results. 

And when that happens, the black community may see a renaissance of its own.
