Is there some apathy? Sure. But that does not mean that Apathy is going to make you vote for trump.
There has always been a certain number of men that vote republican. Like any other group of people, there are bigots, misogynists. That is not the vast majority of black men.
And it has to be said, that yes, some have grown despondent thinking that no matter which party is in power, nothing changes for them. Again, that does not mean voting for trump.

Like any other group, some are low information voters, some prone to believe disinformation and propaganda. I am so glad he asked her about the stimulus, because that is one the disinformation campaigns amongst low information voters. " trump gave us checks".

I think she should continue to do these types of interviews. Reach people where they are, and answer their questions. I think often, the media is focused on getting a soundbite, gotcha questions or trying to get her to respond to RW talking points. Everyday people have specific questions that are not talking points that they want answers to.
