“Bidenomics” is doing little to quell Democrats’ fear of a loosening grip on the “Black vote” ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Disillusioned with the notion that loyalty to the Democratic Party would better their lives and economic standing, Black Americans — specifically, Black men — are defecting to the Republican Party or are looking to alternative candidates.
For too long, progressives have offered Black Americans the politics of victimhood. Today’s villains, according to the left’s elites, are “White privilege” and “institutional racism.” And in their opinion, these villains must be combated with systemic entitlements and reparations for their victims. Let’s say progressives succeeded in eliminating the “structural bias” they are obsessed with. What would be left of progressivism? What would justify any American’s decision at the ballot box to give them the power to govern? Reliance on Bidenomics or the cliche that “democracy is on the ballot” may prove insufficient to stop or slow democrats’ hemorrhage of Black voters or motivate turnout.
Such was the case in 2020, when Black voters played a crucial role in resuscitating then-candidate Joe Biden’s flailing presidential campaign and sent him to the White House amid some of the country’s biggest racial justice and civil rights riots in decades. Black voters expected meaningful criminal justice reforms post-inauguration but instead saw free spending, vaccine mandates and broken promises.
Conservatism stands for the still-radical proposition in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. And that in a truly free government, such a government protects those rights equally for all Americans, irrespective of race.
