Parody Alcove: Spokespeople have been intermittently swinging this "taking us for granted" cudgel since the 1980s. The Party will never be intimidated or worried about such "crying wolf" talk until the Black voting community actually [significantly] follows through with its warnings for once. Predictability is a love life killer. You have to make the Lord Protectors sleep on the couch, occasionally, in the cities and states that they own, if you want to be treated special by them again.

VIDEO EXCERPTS: (MK) Here with me now is Stephen A Smith [...] So Trump's numbers are going up across the board. Republicans numbers are going up when it comes to the economy. Which was a shocker, you could see there, to the CNN team. [...]
(SAS) Well, to me it's an indictment against the Democratic Party. ... I think that what people don't realize is that, as a Black man, you do find yourself getting offended at what we've seen from the Democratic Party.
So since 1964, since you had the Civil Rights Act, and then ultimately the Voting Rights Act, and the Fair Housing in 1968, and stuff like that... We heard quotes purportedly from Lyndon B Johnson at the time: "We passed this into law, we'll have the Negroes voting for us for the next 200 years."
Well, it's been over over 60, and for the most part they've been right.
This is because we've been so transparent in our support for the Democratic Party. There's a reason why the black community by and large has been considered disenfranchised.
Because on one hand we have a party that takes us for granted, because they know they're going to get our vote. They never really had to cater to us.
And on the other side, we've alienated a party -- who, by the way, played a role in pushing civil rights and voting rights legislation in the 60s -- and we basically said the hell with you. So as a result, they turned around and said we're not going to have their support anyway.
So you have one party taking us for granted. You have another party assuming that they'll never get our support. And therefore we get no representation.
What I like about Trump's return to the White House is that it has put the Democratic Party in a position where you no longer get to take us and various communities for granted. You have to go out there and earn our vote. You can't get moralistic and sit on your sanctimonious chair, and acting as if you're above reproach...
