There are others following his lead and that is really what is a shame.
You want to talk about GDP Growth and Trade Agreements, Great! Unfortunately guys like DeSantis are sounding the "Racism Dog Whistle"(this is a thing now I guess) to get elected and he probably will. I sit here impatiently waiting to for normal citizens who are Republicans to stand up to their own bullshit. Aren't you tired of getting grouped with these bigots?

For a strong economy to be a good thing, it has to be available to all Americans not just wealthy white males.

First - solidly low unemployment numbers across the spectrum of race and class does seem to show that it is available to all Americans.


Second,
{tl;dr - don't believe the lie of the narrative that conservatives hates blacks, it's just not true.}

And this may be an unpopular statement, but it is my belief. No group, as a whole, has been more lock step with the democratic party than African Americans, and yet they suffer the most from poverty, family separations, violence against their men. The democratic party portrays a false narrative of republicans as bigots, and haters, when the Klan was filled good ole democrats. They lie and decieve young african americans, and in turn keep them needing government handouts. You believe what you believe, but I know the vast majority of conservatives and libertarians aren't rascists.

Median household income in the United States in 2017, by race or ethnic group (in U.S. dollars)
Median income in U.S. dollars
Asian 81,331
Caucasian (White not Hispanic) 68,145
Hispanic (of any race) 50,486
Black 40,258

according to Pew: http://www.people-press.org/2018/03/...groups/2_3-14/

Whites are 51/43 rep/dem
Hispanics are 63/28 rep/dem (this pol is mar 2018)
Blacks are 84/8 rep/dem

And yet the urban centers that the democrats control are havens for violence, poverty, and family breakups.

Kanye West actually took a lead on this over the weekend:

...
In footage from the crowd posted to the comedian Chris Rock’s Instagram account, Mr. West can be seen musing on his support of President Trump and urging, “We need to have a dialogue and not a diatribe.”

Mr. West, who is known for delivering similarly improvised addresses during his concerts, said he is often asked how he can support President Trump because “he’s racist.” “If I was concerned about racism,” Mr. West said, “I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.” He said Democrats were responsible for a plan to take “fathers out the home and promote welfare.” The rapper also mentioned his long-teased presidential aspirations for 2020 and referred to the “one-sided” liberal nature of the entertainment world as the “S.N.L.” cast stood stoically behind him.

Democrats have parlayed the handout state into a means as keeping African Americans tied to their strings.

Clarence Thomas said it well, as the democrats in the Senate acted like the real KKK

And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. -- U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.
