  1. The Democrats have ALWAYS had the same thing on offer for blacks, since forever: "Abide on our plantation and serve us." They've been buying votes with subsistence payments. They present themselves as the party of compassion, so they get all the poor people's votes and they get all the votes of prosperous people who want to virtue signal, plus all the people who make their living dispensing government largesse (bureaucrats). Then anybody adjacent to THOSE people. With the education government-funded, they have an indoctrination mill that turns out progressives and other socialists. People focus on blacks, but it's more about poor people, in general. Blacks were still catching up to whites when the welfare state swooped in to capture ALL the poor, so they were disproportionately impacted by the corrosive "keep you fed and keep you down" plantation. But millions more poor whites were captured by the same "We care and here's your free stuff" siren song. They're just a smaller percentage of the white population, because a smaller percentage were captured by the welfare state. But it's all the same. People don't need a hand-out or even a hand-up, although the latter is always nice when it happens voluntarily because there are good guys in society. People need a fair shake and an opportunity-rich environment. The welfare state strangles opportunity in the name of helping everyone. Most of the time, it doesn't even know that's what it's doing, although there's enough history and understanding of how such bureaucracies always evolve (to authoritarianism and poor services) to predict, so it's not exactly "unintended consequences" when the record is so clear. But most people never are taught these considerations. Why should they be? The people with the monopoly on education want more and bigger government. At root, it's about preserving THEIR taxpayer-paid jobs. So they happily indoctrinate all our kids to be socialist. This has been going on since the late '60s and early '70s.
