One of the reoccurring criticisms that I see from the left over the past few years is that many Republican voters vote contrary to their "interests." Besides the fact that it's a very Marxian way to view the world I've always found the logic of this criticism to be very interesting.
In a thread below Hondo compared "metaphorically" young black leaders who support Trump to voters who are on Food Stamps voting for Republicans as an example of people who vote against their own "interests." Which immediately makes me think that in Hondo and other leftists minds they obviously believe that there is a certain way that blacks and poor people should vote. Pretty obvious that Hondo votes for Rats, so using his own logic can we surmise that he is on welfare or Food Stamps and or believes that the government should provide him with healthcare therefore, he votes accordingly in his own interests?
What about if you're on Food Stamps but you realize that it's a program that kills imitative and keeps people in poverty. Would you still be voting against your "interests" if you voted for Republicans? And how exactly is it that when blacks support Republicans they are "metaphorically" voting against their interests? Are people's "interests" shaped solely by their skin color or their pocketbook?
I'm fascinated on how white liberals are so sure they know what's in the "interests" of black voters and or poor voters.
