   The Democrats have lost the plot.   
      
   Black men have been leaving the Democrat Party in droves, and it scares   
   Kamala Harris for good reason. The black vote has been the base of the   
   Democrat's election strategy since Lyndon B. Johnson.   
      
   It has always been a bad deal for black voters if you look at how economic   
   and social progress stalled and then reversed since the welfare state was   
   expanded. All the way back to Daniel Moynihan's report on the state of the   
   black family, social scientists have known that liberal policies have   
   harmed black families and individuals. But Democrats were the party making   
   the pitch for black votes, and black voters responded with loyalty.

   Kamala Harris is so worried she's losing support among black men that   
   she's offering $20 BILLION in forgivable loans to only certain Americans   
   if they have the right skin color.   
      
   Not only is that illegal, it's called PANIC.

   Not so much anymore. Blacks are still overwhelmingly Democrats, but the   
   hold the party has on them has been loosening. And Donald Trump is the   
   reason.   
      
   So, the Harris campaign has been making a desperate bid to get black men   
   back into the fold in the most condescending way possible. First, Barack   
   Obama insulted black men, calling them misogynists for abandoning the most   
   vapid and policy-free candidate the Democrats have ever put up, and now   
   Kamala Harris is making the pitch by offering money and weed.

   If Kamala Harris is throwing out "free cash and legal weed" to black men -   
   - which seems just a little racist -- three weeks before an election,   
   she's currently losing

   Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better.

   Forget the irony of Kamala Harris, of all people, talking up legalizing   
   marijuana--she famously put thousands in jail for smoking the evil weed.   
   People change their policies with new information or upon reflection, so   
   let's give her some grace there.   
      
   Focus instead on what making this pitch to black men in particular means:   
   she thinks that being a druggie is a black thing. Most people I know are   
   white, so I can't say for sure that blacks aren't all stoned on weed   
   without my knowing it, but I sure do know that tons of white people get   
   stoned, too. It's not even a class thing: we have a drug problem in this   
   country, not a black drug problem. Harris is leaning into a stereotype   
   that even I, hardly a race-obsessed person, think is unfair and   
   condescending.   
      
   Similarly, the focus on reparations is more an appeal to an Ibram X. Kendi   
   version of black people than ordinary black men who want economic   
   opportunity. No doubt most sane black people would take free cash if   
   offered--few people wouldn't!--but anybody with an ounce of sense knows   
   that reparations of any size will not happen, and most understand that   
   they rank about 10th on any black person's agenda. It is the race   
   hustler's issue.   
      
      
   Harris is flailing. The old Obama coalition has been falling apart for   
   years, and even as a blackish woman, she can't find a way to benefit from   
   the longstanding loyalty of blacks. The failure of the Biden   
   administration's economic policies means that few people have the time for   
   luxury beliefs. Bread and butter, not wagyu steaks, are what people are   
   focused on. Only privileged people like academics and other members of the   
   elite spend time thinking about things like reparations.   
      
      
   I think there is an additional element to the collapse of the old Obama   
   coalition: the feminization of the Democratic Party. Upper-middle-class   
   men can indulge in feminist cosplay to appeal to their female peers, but   
   working-class men see all that as bulls**t. They don't look at Doug Emhoff   
   and Tim Walz as icons of a new masculinity; they see beta males.   
      
   Black men never really bought into the feminist movement, and they are   
   generally repulsed by the increasing feminization of American culture--   
   especially the Democratic Party. They aren't on the Kamala Harris train   
   because it is decorated in pink, staffed by drag queens, and denigrates   
   people like them. It's a totally natural reaction.   
      
   It's not misogyny that drives this; it's the fact that the women of the   
   Democratic Party are driven by misandry. And nobody likes to be hated.   
      
      
   --   
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
