Identity politics won't cut it this time

A conservative activist in Chicago says despite all the hype, fellow black voters in her community and other urban areas are excited to vote for Donald Trump this year.

Thousands of giddy Democrats cheered Thursday night as Kamala Harris accepted the party's nomination to be president of the United States. The party of identity politics hopes to propel a woman of Jamaican-Indian descent into the White House, replacing the aging white man who currently occupies it.

However, there continues to be evidence that the minority vote might not be so overwhelming for them. For example, former CNN anchor Don Lemon recently talked with several people in liberal Atlantic City, New Jersey and discovered that President Trump has a lot of support there, including among blacks.

ChicagoRed founder and chair P. Rae Easley, whose goal is to move citizens away from the liberal progressive failures that are bankrupting their city, tells AFN, "Our people are not supporting Kamala Harris."

Even though "she's been lying about who she is for years," Easley asserts, "We know exactly who she is. We find her offensive. She can't go over there and giggle in [Putin's] face."

Voters, she says, want "a masculine leader" who can stand up for them, and "Trump is an alpha man" while Harris is "an even worse candidate than Jim Crow Joe ever could be."

Despite Lemon's defense for Harris, the voters he talked with in New Jersey seem to confirm Easley's position. They said they miss the strong economy, the securer borders, and the military under Trump's leadership.
