One hundred thirty years after Abe Lincoln, re Republicans have got the anti-black vote and it's bigger than any Democratic Presidential candidate can cope with.
In "Rabbit at Rest," John Updike reflects on the political landscape over a century after Abraham Lincoln. He highlights a significant shift in voter alignment, particularly noting that Republicans now hold considerable support among black voters. This change presents a formidable challenge for Democratic presidential candidates who find it difficult to counter this trend.
Updike's observation suggests that the dynamics of American politics have evolved, resulting in unexpected coalitions and voting patterns. The author's commentary emphasizes the complexity of racial politics in America and raises questions about the future of party affiliations and voter demographics in the context of elections.
