If they ever talked to the guy who fixes their toilet or an Uber driver they might know this
Yep. I can bullshit for hours with any blue collar man. I've delayed guys from getting their work done who were working for me because we got into random topics, but it's inevitable that politics gets brought up. My tile guys (1 was black, from Williston), the plumber who re-piped my bathroom, the 5 man tree crew (black guys from the country also). That's just a few of them.
Every one of them were Trump supporters. The black dudes were a mix of 20s to 50s. One of them was funny about it. I was outside talking with the tree guys when I bought them pizza and this was shortly after 1/6. One of the guys my age said, "I bet you voted for Trump didn't you?". I laughed and said yeah. He acted like he was going to be mad and started laughing, he voted for him too because their work load jumped like crazy under Trump (I don't know if there was any real correlation there for tree guys, probably moreso because home projects skyrocketed during COVID shutdowns).
Now I will add the caveat that these being all country folk makes it far more likely for a black guy to be a conservative. They're more traditional, they hate these lazy city black kids and their culture, and they see that Democrats have done absolutely nothing for their poor little town. But the point was, if these liberals get baffled from THAT, try talking to not just a blue collar worker, but a black rural blue collar worker....they may spontaneously combust.
