20 years ago next month Kanye West famously declared “Bush doesn’t care about Black people,” after Bush’s dismal response to Hurricane Katrina damage in Louisiana. it was a watershed moment because it totally turned the cultural-political tide in America and opened the gates for an Obama presidency a couple years later. One could say Candace Owens recently did the same when she admitted regret for voting for Trump and called him a “chronic disappointment.”

Owens, who is the leader of the “Blaxit” movement that encouraged Black people to leave the Democrat party, which had a profound impact on the 2024 election, is a cultural heavyweight (6 million followers on FB alone!), and no doubt her words resonate with the lower classes. That may be one of the main reasons 90% of Black people are reporting that they are done with Trump in a new poll.

Or maybe it’s because Trump invited them to Washington to celebrate Black History Month but then paraded out the Pfizer CEO and honored him as a “great man.” Or maybe it’s because he laid off hundreds of thousands of black federal workers. Or maybe it’s because he didn’t put any Black people in his cabinet. Or maybe it’s because he has decimated DEI programs. Or maybe it’s because he’s filling working class neighborhoods with federal agents and soldiers. Or maybe it’s simply because they, like many of us, have figured out that he simply just doesn’t give a turd about lower income people, small business, and inflation. Or maybe it’s a combination of all of the above. But one way or the other, according to a new YouGov poll, Black people have abandoned hope that Trump is going to help them, and only a shocking 11% approve of his performance.

Here’s another reason I don’t doubt the new poll. Because I, an independent conservative, feel the same way they do, as do many of my friends who are not black. Hence the reason I tend to think this latest poll is probably spot on, despite the fact that Trump and his holdout black stans will say it is fake news. But for anyone who doubts all of this, I’ve got two words for them: Candace Owens. That’s all I ever really need to know. If Trump can lose her, and he has, he could lose anyone.

Oh, another reason I should’ve mentioned for the Trump abandonment is the Epstein coverup, especially since it is one of the main reasons Candace Owens has “walked away” from Maga. I have heard from Black people that they were very excited that republican president Trump was going to hold elites in power accountable for crimes they had committed against children, and they were greatly disappointed when it became apparent that he instead was going to protect them. Can’t blame them. Feel the same way.

I believe all of this will be a problem for Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. Of course Trump has the power to turn it around before then, but I doubt he will. I think he is on a mission to facilitate the technocrat technology takeover of America, and therefore the economic situation will only get worse and worse for the lower classes, especially as more government jobs, many of which are held by minorities, get replaced by robots.

One more thing. People who have followed me for a while now that I often say “Trump better be careful, if he loses the culture, he will lose America.“ It’s happening. He is losing the culture. America will be next.

Here’s the good news, there are a lot of Americans out there from both sides who are fed up with both parties. There is still a chance we could come together for an independent candidate who is neither republican nor democrat and wants to hold both parties responsible for their crimes against the American people. I haven’t abandoned hope for that yet.
