Dems’ Worst Nightmare: Black, Gay Vet Leaves Party To Become A Republican
A smart man.
#WalkAway
Quote:Rob Smith represents everything Democrats fear most in the #WalkAway era.
A black, gay, Army veteran, Smith became so sick of false narratives from liberals, and the perpetuation of a victimhood mentality that he decided to switch parties and become a Republican.
“I think for me, I got so sick of the lies. What they were telling black people,” Smith said Saturday during an appearance on Fox News’ “Watters’ World.”
“When you are a black person you get messages from Democrats saying you are a victim and you need us to succeed and you need us to achieve, you need this ever-expanding welfare state to make something of yourself,” he told host Jesse Watters. “I got tired of it and sick of that message that it needed them, and I got sick of that message of victimhood that they continue to push to black Americans for the last three decades of my life.”
Smith, who grew up a Democrat, said the party is all about keeping people in line.
“I think Democrats use identity politics to keep people in line,” Smith explained. “To keep black people in line. To keep Latinos in line. To keep gay people in line. I’m black and gay, and I have seen them use the same tactics for black people as they do for gay people.”
After being asked if it is harder to come out as a gay person or a Republican, the vet offered a telling response that captures the state of today’s Democratic Party.
“I didn’t lose friends when I came out as gay. I’ve lost friends since coming out as Republican,” Smith said. “People do not understand it and these are the… left, that’s supposed to be so tolerant and inclusive. These are the people who were the first to shun me when I came out as conservative.”

I've said just about the same thing and still get called a leftist here haha. I agree with him almost 100%, falling short on becoming a Republican. It's a great reason to leave the democrats, but a misguided reason to join the republicans. They just use identity politics in reverse.

Well, I am not sure about worst nightmare because how many gay black veterans could there possibly be?
But when the young single black women start talking along these lines, that's when the dam breaks.

I'm not really going out on a limb in saying the number of gay black veterans is small and relatively inconsequential.

I think Trump got 15% of the BM vote. Not out of the question he could 30% next time. Been a really long time since
GOP got 30% of the BM vote, IDK Eisenhower? BW are a totally different demographic though.
