Nothing to do with 'liberals'

It's surprising that anyone would vote for Trump, and especially black voters who've been demonized by Trump's KKK base during his administration and thereafter

This only shows that there are idiots of all skin colors. Moreover, the numbers did not change much between 2016 and 2020:

Black voters made up about 11 or 12 percent of the electorate [in 2016], according to the AP and Edison, respectively.

The AP found that [in 2016] 90 percent of Black voters went to Biden and 8 percent to Trump.

Edison Research determined that 87 percent of Black voters voted for Biden and 12 percent for Trump.

Both found Black men were more likely than Black women to support Trump. In the AP’s case, 12 percent of Black men voters backed Trump, compared to 6 percent of Black women; in Edison’s case, 18 percent of Black men voters cast ballots for Trump, while 8 percent of Black women did the same.

[In 2020] a survey taken by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape in late September and early October found that 21 percent of Black voters ages 18 to 44 supported Trump, while an October New York Times/Siena College national poll found that 11 percent of Black men backed Trump. Both results were in line with those of other polls, which generally found overall Black support for Trump to be around 10 percent.

It's easy to call trump voters white supremacists to get support from people who want to feel like they are on the good guys team, doesn't make it true. Some black people are smart enough to not fall for the propaganda that Republicans are out to get them

The issue isn't really at the level of a 12-year-old's emotions, as you seem to think Trump is unpopular simply because it's popular not to like him, or that blacks would want to support him simply because they can assume that Republicans aren't "out to get them". This is not a kids game for the vast majority of voters who have numerious imporant reasons to avoid frauds like Trump. He should be in jail.

So should many politicians, he's not at all unique in that. Not sure why he's hated so much that the media singles him out in particular more than anyone else. It does absolutely contribute to people thinking he's worse than he is. I don't think it's a kids game either, Trump isn't ideal, but he's definitely more competent than Biden if that's what it comes down to.
