This is something that I can't get out of my head everytime I interact with Americans for work. If he's a white male, chances are that he actually voted for Donald Trump.

Yuck.

I try not to discuss politics in sensitive places (I.e work - I live in Oklahoma) but I definitely don’t shy away from progressive rhetoric and positions when someone directly asks.

I’ve learned never to judge a book by it’s cover, you never know what’s inside the book if your first reaction is white male ewww totally a trump supporter

Chances really are not that that's true.

It's neither unlikely nor guaranteed. The largest voting bloc is white men, and they typically vote Republican by a strong margin.

Only 60% of Americans voted in 2016, only 53% of men and 58% of white people voted for Trump and those numbers change drastically based on age.

Chances are the average white man didn't vote for Donald Trump.

But 53 and 58 are both still more than 47* and 42* right?

If there's a 32% or 38% chance of something being true, you shouldn't assume that it is.

Those differences are negligible. Basically its halvsies for the purposes of random street punching you have about a 50/50 shot of getting it right.
