Cygnus Poll: Trump Has 42% Approval... From Black Men
The headline says this "dooms" the Democrats, which seems accurate.
President Donald Trump has Democrats on the ropes with his surging support from African Americans, prompting a poll to declare that "black men love Trump." In a new Cygnal survey shared with Secrets, Trump has a shocking 42% approval rating from black men, a massive edge over any past Republican president. Brock McCleary, Cygnal vice president of polling, told Secrets, "Forty-two percent of black men approving of Trump's job so far is no small thing. Unlike Democrats' approach previously, this isn't about placation or offering new attractive policies with no follow-through. His popularity and approval surges because he does the things he says he'll do -- and that's a breath of fresh air for everyone." ... In his elections, he has picked up slightly more black voter support than other Republicans, but since 2020, his support has soared as Democrats have turned uber-liberal on social issues. That led the Cygnal analysis of its monthly survey to declare, "Black Men Love Trump. The political realignment from November appears to be accelerating as Trump continues to make inroads with historically Dem-leaning constituencies. 42% of black men approve of the job Trump's doing, and 4-in-10 have a favorable opinion of him." The results match other recent polls, including a John Zogby Strategies survey featured in Secrets that showed the so-called Obama coalition swinging behind Trump.That isn't the only core group of the Democrat coalition that's abandoning the Marxist party. The CBS poll showing Trump with 53% job approval also showed young voters swinging to Trump. Voters 18-29 approve of Trump by ten full points, 55% to 45%. This is Trump's second-best age cohort, after only (buffs nails) Gen X, which supports Trump 56% to 44%. Even the Millennials support Trump 52% to 48%.

I'm still not convinced that any returns from major cities or many other locales are real.
Why would we assume they would be? It would be trivially easy for someone to swap out the memory cards on the voting machines with one pre-loaded with the intended outcome.
A little more work with paper ballots, but still very doable.

The hurricane impact to W NC and E TN woke some others when no help came from the stupid feds. Seeing pack mules delivering medications and food. Reading about FEMA only helping people, barely, who did not have TRUMP signs in their yard in NC an FL. Some woke up after a mere $750 LOAN was offered to the people who had no home, no car and no job...living in tents months later in snow.
Most people, even Dims, no longer rely on the alphabet news but the Internet on their phones. The big lies were starting to crumble even before Trump II was elected.
The Dims stand, and are standing, for LBGQT and freak shows for children. For illegals. For lining their greedy pockets with USAID.
Frankly, my dear, I had never noticed USAID before a few weeks ago. Transparency, a word the Dims fear.

I don't think they've really moved "to the right."
I think it's entirely cultural.
You have blue haired harpy women on one side telling them they should explore their sexuality and try out sucking a dick, and on the other side you have joe rogan types talking about hunting elk and going to the gym 4 times a day, so that they could get strong and disciplined and get girls and better jobs.
You could see which would appeal to 20 year old men more.
I don't know if this is a permanent shift, but it makes sense to me.

If you live in town you're probably hosed but some states (like TX!) have passed laws allowing chickens within city limits, sometimes subject to how each city council decides. To my surprise fkn CO allowed this - at least back in 2017/8 when I checked - but with the bird flu propaganda they may have changed. It's almost always contingent on having only hens, which means you have to find someone selling "sex links" chicks (or autosexing, but those seem to be less common).

I'm a skeptic about this 'dooming' the democrats. Unless this enthusiasm for Trump spills over to other R's it's a one-off.
Plus - I don't think you'll ever crack the black female vote.
Anyone (pale male) who manages to become familiar enough with a black woman (or men) that she opens up and is honest with you will see that they fundamentally think differently and respond differently.
Again, my humble opinion, based upon some experience with coworkers.

I think it's entirely cultural.
You have blue haired harpy women on one side telling them they should explore their sexuality and try out sucking a dick, and on the other side you have joe rogan types talking about hunting elk and going to the gym 4 times a day, so that they could get strong and disciplined and get girls and better jobs.
You could see which would appeal to 20 year old men more.
I'm not sure we disagree. "To the right" could certainly mean they reject the kind of nonsense promulgated by the Jurassic set on the left.

I think media has been captured by true believers. Look at the occasional story of the NYT bowing to screaming from 25 year old "journalists". Could that change? I don't know, but 15% of its Class-B shares (which can vote for Class-B Directors) is owned by a guy who made his billions in Mexico and probably has indiscrete ties to the cartels.
Elections...I think we've reached the peak of the current model of Dem cheating. That was 2022. Then the RNC got under new management (fucking finally) and actually started fighting back. I don't see how it gets materially worse again in the near future. Plus, you know, the cash to NGOs that pay for ballot harvesting.

Sure, but it shows there is a path. It also shows what most of us have long suspected: the Rs are mostly cucked failure theater grifters whose outreach to black men is “Why don’t we take jobs you could use and give them to illegals!”
>> Plus - I don't think you'll ever crack the black female vote.
No, not for now. Especially because so many of the beneficiaries of DEI programs have been black women. So they’ll be mad.
Ultimately, doesn’t matter a whole lot. It’s not like either party will be a super-majority. American politics tends towards an equilibrium, and even if Trump accomplishes a lot the GOPe will squander all of that goodwill in the future.

I suspect it's tied to the last five? six? generations of women having to try to pretend to be the dad along with the mother, and raising men that see that behavior and accept it in a mate because it's how momma was/is, too.
Aggression, masculinity, unpleasantness, argumentativeness, quick to anger, immediately loud, etc. are all probably culturally learned behaviors that exist mainly as adaptations and coping mechanisms for broken families and trying to replace the father.

Democratic electoral fraud is legendary. The rule of thumb in the 1960s was any Republican had to make up a million genuine votes just to break even. I very much doubt it has improved.
There is a certain ebb and flow to politics. It just is. After two terms in the WH, voters often give the other team a chance.
The Democrats sought to short-circuit that entirely. The same way economists think they can prevent Recessions, I suppose. They have access to accurate polling, they know the score. Do have to show up, things change, s!&t happens. Nikki Haley was painfully obvious in her role, ready to be air dropped in as the Republican Standard Bearer, once the troublesome Trump was excised

They've begun their response. It will be playing into stereotypes, making certain statistics more palatable to express, and making people in general question whether black men really deserve any actually respect or recognition.
But they will play both sides of it strong like they currently do with women. Have Democrats abandoned women or not? You have to be paying attention to know.

in 2017 I was working at a construction -adjacent company. They provided a service that every single new project needs before they start...commercial mainly, some government...
there was a hiring boom for new techs. A good 30 percent of the new hires were young black men. I thought: Oh this is great, they have an entry level job at a good wage, much better than what they'd earn at a fast food joint.
Trump was dicked out of a second term, that company got sold, I've no idea what they're doing now or where those young men ended up.

100%. This was a stupid and, frankly, very racist argument from the beginning.
Believe it or not, there is not something genetically distinct about central americans that makes them want to clean toilets or mow lawns.
The ONLY advantage is that they would work off the books. This meant companies could avoid labor laws and overtime requirements. Ignore OSHA rules. Ignore workers comp and commercial liability insurance, etc. etc.
Plus since these people were largely illiterate in Spanish and did not speak English and were here illegally, the companies know / knew they had them by the balls.
That knocked out two generations of truly upwardly mobile professions (like construction) for American citizens.
There are millions and millions of American kids who grew up in poverty that in an alternative timeline would not have if the illegals were not here.

I say this as one of three boys raised by a single-mom -- and as one of the lucky ones who blessedly somehow (growing up in poverty was quite the incentive) managed to channel my anger and other psychological issues into relatively healthy and productive obsessions -- and over-achieved my little piece of the heretofor vanishing American Dream.

I'll go out on a limb here but from observation based on work-interactions, black women's style - both in child-rearing and mentoring at work is not to 'build-up' others, but to down-play expectations. More of a 'what makes you think YOU can do that' attitude rather than a 'work hard and you can achieve' attitude.
This is in direct contrast to how the media and Hollywood depict their culture but that's how I've seen it.

That’s Judge Roger W. Cocksucker III, from the esteemed Cocksucker political dynasty. Came over on the Mayflower.
In the 19th century Eustace Cocksucker made a fortune importing cravats from France. From 1867 on the Cocksuckers were staunch Massachusetts Republicans and Boston Brahmins in good standing, producing two governors, a half-dozen judges, and founding countless country clubs in the Bay State.
Roger W. Cocksucker III was appointed to the Federal judiciary by his good friend George H.W. Bush, for whom he hosted several fundraisers among New England’s affluent and dandy. Known for his assortment of colorful bowties, there’s nothing else of note about his quarter-century on the bench.
In 2017 the Cocksucker family’s long-standing political orientation was changed from Republican to “Independent.”

Any system for deciding who gets power will be corrupted. The beauty of the American system is that it is in the government's best interest to keep elections relatively fair, because you really can't steal power indefinitely. They need to know that at least enough of the people are on board with the shit they are pulling so that they can keep coasting along in power. Elections aren't just about which asshole gets to be chief asshole, it's a signal to the assholes that they've pushed too far in one direction or another.

Dude, I turn 70 next month. My guess is most of the Boomers know they have little time left and they've seen this shitshow before. Most of my family are laughing their ass off daily cuz Trump is funny and does what he says. I am mostly concerned about what my son has to live through. It is eerily similar to what I had to deal with - the after effects of LBJ's Guns and Butter. My son gets Biden's Guns and Butter after shocks. These normally take 10 to 12 years to halt.

As has been extensively polled, they're the most likely to try and blow all of their money as quickly as possible to prevent their kids from getting any. And thus the most likely to be reliant on Social Security. Most Gen Xers knew SS was a pyramid scheme 40 years ago and planned our lives accordingly, so doing drastic changes to SS to save it doesn't faze us.

I saw a 100% legitimate attorney's TV commercial the other day where a middle aged black man was using every impressive big word he could come up with to try to get people to call after their car wreck.
He no-joke said "I impale you to call"
I will try to find it. I kept waiting for it to be cut off and move to the real commercial, but no, that was it. I impale you was the actual commercial.

Would love to see him stress more and perhaps propose incentives to help mitigate the greatest cultural tragedy of our age (perhaps with the exception of the abortion holocaust): the absence of fathers in the home (or at least actively participating in their children's lives).
I say this as one of three boys raised by a single-mom -- and as one of the lucky ones who blessedly somehow (growing up in poverty was quite the incentive) managed to channel my anger and other psychological issues into relatively healthy and productive obsessions -- and over-achieved my little piece of the heretofor vanishing American Dream.

I was told that dressing well, getting an education, all that stuff was “Acting White” and highly discouraged in da Hood.
I suppose, but the Democratic strategy of elevating ghetto trash and calling everyone Nazis is highly fatiguing, and counterproductive. We see the results of this strategy today. One might be forgiven if most people think black females are all crazed leftist lesbians. I can assure you this is not the case.
Every part of the “rainbow coalition” is first and foremost a hard core leftist. That’s all we ever see.
“If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” sez the pasty white racist from Delaware. WTF? That is so vile, they would rather poison race relations than give up power. Make things worse, not better.

But I will cut them some slack in that after years of the Great Depression, fighting a two front world war, then coming home to the only country with a functioning industrial base allowing them to all instantly become middle class -- well, fuck it, they just wanted to hang out and party and were not in the mood to raise kids.

You’re missing all of the great things the older generations did for their kids:
- lots of unsupervised television and Internet
- all the high-fructose corn syrup a growing body needs
- a series of step-fathers
- student loans
- all those icky jobs making things sent to China and replaced with a “service economy”
- liberalization of drugs and sex, along with pop culture glorifying the same
- real estate bubble after real estate bubble
- a psychiatric industry that told them every challenge they faced was due to a pathology that could be cured with lifelong use of prescription drugs

The other thing is the mass awareness by the voter of the pervasive communist tyranny in the Democrat Party.

I don't agree that they just wanted to "hang out and party". Some of them perhaps, but I think many just didn't want their kids growing up with the hardship and worry that they had in growing up. A perfectly understandable motivation but sadly wrong in many cases because what they ended up doing was spoiling the little bastards and turning many of them into ungrateful, revolutionary monsters. Like Billy Ayers and his sort. YMMV.

Posted by: Frank Barone at February 12, 2025 02:25 PM (+oR7L)
Yeah there are a lot of problems with the boomers, and they rode the wave of hype and media. On the other hand, they gave us Led Zeppelin, the Who, Yes, Genesis, Allman Brothers, The Kinks, Fleetwood Mac, etc etc. They gave us the Space Shuttle, the Internet, the PC, Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, and Ronald Reagan.
Like all generations, they're mixed. A lot of bad, a lot of good. The main difference is that they so dominated media that they were super overhyped and brought a lot of stupid baggage like JFK, James Dean, etc.

Supposedly Jack Lord was a leading contender for the Capt. Kirk role but wanted a financial piece from Roddenberry.

Yep. You know how every generation talks about how the one that came before them is awful and the one younger is lousy and ruining everything?
Every one of them was right. We are sinful, fallen human beings. We're a mess that somehow manages to keep going by the grace of God.

Sure, but if you look at U.S. history, things started to really go off the rails in the 60s. Drugs, crime, anti-white gay communism popping up everywhere. Terrible music.
The 70s were a continuation in the decline. The 80s were a reprieve in some respects. As a 90s kid, the 90s/00s were pretty fun, but they also saw the hollowing-out of the American economy that made real things, the mainstreaming of gay stuff, the explosion of obesity and chronic disease, lots of divorce, the mass adoption of SSRIs, the start of DEI, and the government becoming a giant racket.
That isn’t the fault of any one generation, but Millennials and Zoomers were just kids during it, so it’s hard to blame them for inheriting a completely sick country.

Like all generations, they're mixed. A lot of bad, a lot of good. The main difference is that they so dominated media that they were super overhyped and brought a lot of stupid baggage like JFK, James Dean, etc.

Point well made but problematic. Boomers had nothing to do with Ronald Reagan except voting him into office, nothing with JFK or James Dean - neither were boomers.

Dems were pretty stupid when they had the only major party in the country (Whigs were dead and only won 2 election in a generation and a half) to work frantically to promote both the creation of a new major party AND the splitting of their own, and then a war they couldn't win.

Gen Z seems to be blaming Boomers for stuff.
This is not good
Gen Z only knows what they read and see in old videos.
GOD
EDUCATION
WORK ETHIC
MORALS
I remember when THE WHOLE COUNTRY SHUT DOWN EVERY SUNDAY.
The FCC had a STANDARDS BOARD
The US was on the GOLD STANDARD
The Medical Profession was practically prohibited from MAKING A PROFIT
LAWYERS were far and few in between and a LUXURY
High Scools had HOME ECONOMICS for BLUE COLLAR girls and Auto,Wood,Metal,Electric ect Shops for the guys.
plus many many more things that seperate BOOMERS from GENZ'ers
YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW BOOMERS LIVED!

I think a bit more. Life got feminized. School got feminized. Men were like, why should I like that. They cannot find a woman to marry. Women look to uncle sugar to help them out. But men still do the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs that pay more money. And their desire to pay taxes to support women and institutions that work against them is over. That's why they want it cut. Because it doesn't help them.

The first president Boomers could vote for was Nixon.
Before that they were teenagers or younger they had no control of anything. First year college graduation for Boomers was 1968 at best. That's when they entered the work force. That is if they survived Viet Nam.

Problem is, you are blaming the babies for the sins of the fathers and grandfathers. Even the ruffian hippies of the 60s weren't running the country. Their fathers and grandfathers too.
It's a lot like blaming the underclass Irish and Germans and Scots and slaves for the drift to the Civil War. You can make a correlation that vaguely fits but you are doing it by feeling things in a black box.
