I think Republicans look at a small handful of statistics about black voters, like religious affiliation and views on lgbt issues, and think that means they could be won over. But it’s really missing the forest for the trees when they’re making blatantly racist attacks.
Republicans want to pander to big business with promises of cheap labor while pandering to labor with promises of future self-enrichment.
Black workers are the fulcrum that argument turns on. They’re the workers you can use as scabs when you need to break up a union. And they’re the workers you can blame for Woking and DEIing your professional jobs.
That’s why Trump sounds so incoherent around them. He’s trying to pander to white nationalists and black labor at the same time, and it comes out as gibberish.
Republicans could honestly pick up a lot of black votes if they were capable of dropping the racism. Unfortunately it’s so deeply ingrained into the base now that I doubt they could pull it off.
