Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing.

Summary

After Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, many politically engaged Black women are reassessing their role as key organizers in U.S. democracy.

Despite 92% supporting Kamala Harris, Black women expressed disillusionment over their contributions being met with indifference.

Historically at the forefront of social change, some are now prioritizing rest and mental health, shifting away from the “backbone” role in movements.

While some fear this withdrawal could leave gaps in advocacy, others argue it’s time for other groups to step up, as Black women grapple with the nation’s lack of solidarity with their concerns.

    Most voters demonstrably don’t care about that.

    Yeah, so

    Most of America simply does not give a shit about what happens to minorities.

    Thanks for agreeing with me.

        So I would add DNC messaging and campaign strategy to your list of four things above.

        No, the DNC fucked up bad, but their failure still proves point number 1 - if the DNC being fuckups is enough for a voter to vote for or allow fascism, they don’t give a fuck about minorities.
