Why do White Christians Vote Republican, and Black Christians Vote Democrat?

This also explains how Southern Democrats became Republicans and Lincoln's Republican Party became today's Democrats.

Of course, I don't expect the ones who need this lesson the most to actually sit through it all. But maybe, just maybe, enough will sink in so we stop hearing nonsense about how Democrats are the 'real' racists.

and has gone down under every democrat."

I'll take your word for it, in lieu of a link, as I am a bit lazy tonight

Since 1981, federal budget deficits have increased under Republican presidents Reagan, both Bushes and Trump, while deficits have declined under Democratic presidents Clinton and Obama. The economy ran surpluses during Clinton's last four fiscal years, the first surpluses since 1969. .[15][16][17]

Without being glib, Suzianne, do you think it may be that 'free stuf' could be the reason? Free stuff suggests no need to make your own stuff. Thus, the need to depend on the stuff that comes to one freely. So no work, no self reliance.
Now, lesson two is that there are people who are independent and do not want free stuff, they seek freedom and independence.

I'm thinking you like the reparations idea. My my, I could ramble on.

Surprisingly, Trump is picking up voters of color, at least in FL;

"among Republican primary voters of color"

I'm guessing this demographic is far more afraid of Ron DeSantis.
