In the last mid-term elections in 2018, Democrats crushed Republicans
among black voters. They won 92% of the black vote, compared to just 6%
for the GOP.

That same year, Democrats enjoyed a lopsided majority among Hispanic
voters, 72% to 25%, according to exit polling data studied by Pew
Research.

But things are changing fast this time around as black and Hispanic
voters move hard to the GOP amid skyrocketing gas and food prices and
soaring crime rates across the country.

“The issue of inflation – and the feeling that the White House hasn’t
done enough to address it – is helping Republicans score significant
inroads among Hispanic and Black voters, both demographic groups that
Democrats have long relied on for support,” USA Today reports.

“Now, 40% of Hispanics and 21% of Blacks are backing the Republican
candidate,” according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll.

Those numbers are huge — black support up 15 points from 6% in the last midterms to 21%, and Hispanic support jumping the same 15 points to
40%.

Of course, the real numbers could change after the election; the poll
is merely a projection of what voters say now. But even if the jump is
half that projected — let’s say 7-, 8-point increases — it would still
lead to a Republican tsunami on Election Day.

While Democrats are trying to frame the November 8 election around
abortion, the poll found 37% chose the economy/inflation as the most
important issue, with abortion second at less than half that number
(18%).

The sudden movement among the two voting blocs comes as blacks and
Hispanics have grown increasingly frustrated with soaring crime in U.S.
cities. After decades of failure by Democrats — who have long run the
biggest American cities — perhaps it’s time to give the other guys a
try.

But there are a few other driving forces in the movement. The
predominantly Christian black and Hispanic blocs are not supportive of
the gay and transexual agenda being pushed by Democrats. And they’re
not at all happy about the defund the police and no-bail practices
spouted by liberals — mainly because in the cities, they’re the most
affected by the policies.

Democrats already know they’re going to get crushed in the midterms and
some are already prepping their talking points for November 9: The
elections were stolen because Republicans suppressed voters of color.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last Tuesday said “voter
suppression” and “high turnout” can take place at the same time when
asked about election turnout in Georgia. President Joe Biden said the
state’s voting laws amount to “Jim Crow 2.0” — but Georgia is seeing
record early voting turnout.

“And speaking generally of course, more broadly, of course, high
turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time,” she
said. “They don’t have to be, one doesn’t have to happen on its own.
They could be happening at the same time.”

Jean-Pierre was asked if the White House is “observing instances of
voter suppression in Georgia and other states that adopted some of
these laws over the last two years.”

The answer was bizarre.

“Look, we have seen ourselves, I just laid out — we’ve seen ourselves,
from what legislation, state legislation we have seen across the
country that is suppressing the right to vote, and look, we believe
that people should have the fundamental access to voting,” she said.

Politico, a liberal website founded by two reporters from The
Washington Post, is pushing the talking points, too. The site said
blacks just aren’t coming out to vote and lamenting that the voting
bloc that put Biden into office is souring on the doddering POTUS.

“After Black voters played a pivotal role in electing President Joe
Biden two years ago, the strategists said that some Black voters
believe that not enough has changed since, especially when it comes to
the economy, gun violence, voting rights and criminal justice reform,”
Politico wrote.

Even if the USA Today poll is only half right, blacks and Hispanics
will decide the election — and it won’t be pretty for Democrats.
