How did he ever have support from them in the first place? Did these black voters not make the connection between Trump and his supporters being Nazis and those being the same people who would be/still are in the KKK?

Money. Sone people will look past almost anything if they think it'll make them richer.
Part of it is Christian single issue voters. He got a bunch of votes with abortion stuff.
In Australia I often think of conservatives as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires".
Our conservative party obviously favours wealthy people. My parents who are poor will always vote conservative because they "identify as" wealthy.
Is it maybe similar, like some kind of class war?
Lots of people vote against their own interest. Do you think black people incapable of doing so?
It’s nuts he had any support from them in the first place.
Fuck orange
Orange is the new brown.
Sounds stingy
I like fruit, but not like that. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just don’t swing this way, you know?
Down to 9% from 12% 🙄
There was never any real support among Black people.
I cannot believe that it is non-zero.
How else do you end up with people like Clarence Thomas on the supreme court? Can't be 0. They wanna be him.
Individual persons that happen to be Black, sure.
But to characterize this as "Black voters" paints a picture that there's some kind of large constituency of Black Trump supporters even though that's clearly not the case. It's a tiny minority of a minority population.
And yet he still managed to lose 25% of what he had.
Harris has done a good job appealing to fiscal conservatives, she might have peeled some business owners away.
Quick, someone call kanye and his bimbo ex. It’s about time for him to make outrageous comments about racism
Did we get his usual Trump endorsement this time around or did he stay silent on this one? Maybe he was too busy talking shit about Jewish real estate agents selling the mansion he trashed in LA.
Speaking of Kanye, I haven't seen him in the news for a while. He's been quiet. Too quiet.
Maybe dumbass finally got back on his meds or media stopped caring (I know I did). The longer I don't hear celebrity news the better.
Republicans in the next elections are going to put a black candidate
Hahhahahaha
Maybe Robinson. I hear he's ready.
Plenty of people like Mark Robinson who think of themselves as black nazis so go vote anyway.
