You Get What You Voted For By Lucius Gantt
The Gantt Report – Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. The journalists you love and the podcasters, influencers, and news reporters that you love will never admit the President-elect got the most votes because many people voted against the Vice President because she was Black.
So, you got what you voted for!
You got a President that said he would be a dictator, said he would like to be above the law, said he would ignore the Constitution, fire US career service employees, deport immigrants seeking asylum, dismantle the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Department of Education.
Voters did not believe him and ran to voting booths to cast votes for him. Women voted for reproductive rights but voted against the candidate that fought hardest and spoke out strongest for women’s rights.
When Hispanics said the President-elect’s deportation promises did not include them when they knew many “Dreamers” and other immigrants lived in American Hispanic households. Who wants armed soldiers to enter grandmama’s and put children and grandchildren in deportation camps before deportation?
Well, if the President-elect lied during the campaign, he won’t stop lying now that voters put him in the oval office. His election victory didn’t change his lack of veracity.
Our sisters were very mad after the election, understandably. They were mad with white women, mad with Black men, mad about the election outcome and mad at many, many other things and people.
People that read The Gantt Report knew what would happen even if they didn’t believe me.
I said immediately after the Vice President became the Democratic nominee that she would need an extraordinary voter turnout because ordinary turnout numbers of 30 or forty percent of registered voters would not do. I said the imaginary excellent and allegedly widespread GOTV plan would fail because the effort was manned by volunteers who were not properly trained, and the volunteers were dispatched very late in the campaign.
Well, Lucius, why did some Democrats snatch victory from the arms of defeat. Obviously, incumbents and some other Democratic candidates began their races earlier than the Vice President and possibly had more name recognition where they ran for office.
Most African Americans don’t care, but the Democratic Party election professionals and consultants must become more diverse and include more Black and Hispanic political experts. If Black women and men contribute to campaigns they should get some campaign monetary benefits. What’s wrong with that when candidates have billions of dollars to spend?
Soon, the United States will be a “minority country” with more non-white citizens than white citizens. You don’t have to believe me but it’s almost that way now.
To get a good job in Miami, Florida, employees almost must speak English and Spanish right now.
But, I don’t think we need a new program like Marcus Garvey had that had ocean going ships that could transport Blacks back to Africa.
However, we do need a pan-African frame of mind and connect with other people of African ancestry around the world.
Black people in Africa and the Caribbean were not surprised at white voter’s reluctance to vote for a second Black Commander-in-Chief.
Everything in America’s capitalist society is about money.
The President-elect had people like Elon Musk spend over $200 million to get the President-elect back in office so he could possibly get billions in government contracts.
If money is important to Elon, money is important to poor little Lucius.
I’m proud of the “Divine Nine” and other Black groups that went all-in for the Vice President but the people who cast votes for the President-elect voted for “Project 2025”, so they are getting what they voted for, mayhem, mismanagement, chaos and political confusion.
Remember, the Vice President was the most qualified candidate in the race to become President. Also, qualified and experienced Black political professionals are best at motivating and inspiring Black voters to vote for Black candidates.
Use them before you lose Black professionals to the Democrat’s political enemies!
