I don't think that "mixed-race people don't know their own backgrounds" is going to be a winning argument for Republicans, but by all means they can continue using it if they want.

---

I don't think Donold is looking for a "winning" argument as in winning people over to his side so much as he's looking to rev up his base. They get excited when he attacks minorities.

He won in 2016 because his deplorables were more energized than Clinton voters (though demographics have shifted in the democrats favor since then). He lost in 2020 because the anti-Donold vote was more energized.

In 2024 we will see who is more energized. Vice President Harris has certainly pumped some energy onto the Democratic side. Donold is now trying to do the same for his side.

Trump remarks on Harris' race echo his birtherism about Obama


https://www.axios.com/2024/08/01/trump-kamala-harris-black-birtherism


"Donald Trump's audacious lie about Vice President Kamala Harris' race confirmed what many had long suspected: running against a Black woman could summon the former president's worst impulses.

Why it matters: Amid outrage from Democrats and discomfort from Republicans, Trump is doubling down on his incendiary claim that Harris recently "became a Black person" for political convenience.
In one fell swoop, Trump hijacked a news cycle dominated by the enthusiasm surrounding Harris' campaign and redirected attention to his long and controversial record on race."

---

Unfortunately, people are mostly desensitized to it or watching the Olympics.
In the end, people shrug and vote for their parents' party. How else to explain the solid 40% that would follow Trump in a march down the Champs-Elysees so long as he carried a flag with a red elephant on it.

Tell me more!
I'm descended from Brewster of the Mayflower (1620), but also have Scottish and Irish ancestors who came in the mid 1800's.

Orangemen?
I don't know any of this history you just referred to.

Go get educated.


Research into political alignment and voter behavior shows that many American voters tend to support the same political party as their parents.

### **Key Findings**
- **Historical Trends**: Studies suggest that around 60-70% of American voters align with the party preferences of their parents. This pattern reflects the influence of family background on political orientation.
- **Influence of Family**: Family discussions, values, and cultural influences play a significant role in shaping political preferences and party loyalty across generations.
- **Generational Change**: While family influence is strong, there is also evidence of generational shifts and increasing political diversity among younger voters.

### **Sources for Further Information**
- **Pew Research Center**: Provides data and analyses on political affiliation and voter behavior.
- **American National Election Studies (ANES)**: Offers comprehensive data on voter behavior and political attitudes.

These findings underscore the importance of family background in political socialization, though individual choices and broader social changes also contribute to shifts in party affiliation.

I guess I overstated it from 30-35% to 40%. My bad.

The Black Democrat Journalist Matriarchy strikes again.

There is a reason there are no Black men given these slots on @CNN.

Once you see the agenda, you cannot unsee it.pic.twitter.com/5NJ2UDIraJ

Black female Liberals are so used to being pandered to and positioned as the all-knowing dieties that someone sitting down and treating them as they would anyone else is seen as some sort of racial attack.

The Black Democrat Matriarchy is pathological. https://t.co/JIBQX3ooOT

Obama, like Kamala, is not an American Descendant of Slavery who lived an early life culturally unlike the vast majority of African Americans. There seems to be a giant elephant in the room that Democrats refuse to even ackowledge.
