Black Republicans

My girlfriend's estranged* father actually voted for Trump in 2016, as far as I know.

I can't quite discern anything about him that would make him be a Republican or vote that way, although if I had to guess I would say he's probably sexist and would never vote for a woman, there's also a chance he's racist towards Hispanics as well but I can't confirm that. overall he's a pretty normal dude, although on one ocasion I recall him getting drunk and saying a bunch of crazy vaguely political sh!t that's too obscene to describe here - let's just say it was extremely sexist and also weirdly nationalistic.

*To be clear, he's not estranged from the family due to his political views, lol.

Members of religious cults and embodiments of male privilege.

"Male privilege" isn't a thing in the African-American community. It's quite the opposite, but white liberals refuse to acknowledge that.

With all the police shootings in the news I don't know how anyone could say black men are privileged.

James Monroe could.

He represents the worst of the modern Democratic Party, as can be seen in his absurd takes on Sanders, including literally attacking him for being against identity politics lmao.

There are a ton of black Pentecostals, SDAs, and other conservative Christian groups out there.

There are, but many of them vote Democratic.

Black voters are turned off by the GOP because of their embrace of measures designed to depress black voter turnout.  Blacks view this as a "survival issue", and rightly so.  If the GOP stopped its Voter ID initiatives and such, it would likely attract a certain percentage of black voters who are religious and/or entrepreneurial. 

No, it wouldn't.

Black people in general are overwhelmingly religious, and the (racist) idea that black people only vote for Democrats because they want handouts is simply not true. if this was the case, Richard Nixon would not have won 32% of the black vote in 1960. It's clear that Goldwater, the Southern Strategy, Reagnism, and now Trumpism, have turned off almost all black voters because they have no reason to vote for a party that relies on pandering to poorly educated whites and no one else.
