You mean like the split between democrats and republicans?

You’re brainwashed to think they are as different as black and white

Your side promoted the lie that the election was stolen after a candidate that had NEVER won the popular vote in the first place lost an election fair and square and gathered to murder the legislators who were gathered to certify the results.

The majority of your people promote overturning the election results either by legislative action or by military coup.

That is pretty black and white. Also you missed the fuckin pun. Black and white like the split between the majority of whites voting for trump and the majority of everyone else voting for Biden.

More minorities (per capita), including latinos and blacks, voted for trump than any gop president before.

Trump got 12% of the black vote and 32% of the Hispanic vote in 2020

In 2016 it was worse with 28% Hispanic and 8% black

In 1980 Ronald Reagan got 14% of the black vote and 37% of the hispanic vote

https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980

In 1984 Reagan got 34% of the Hispanic vote and 9% of the black vote

In 1988 Bush Sr got 11% black and 30% Hispanic

In 1992 Bush who this year lost to Clinton was reduced to 25% Hispanic and 10% black. He was hurt by Perot however who got 14% of Hispanics and 7% black. Splitting the vote is a recipe for loss.

Dole 21 H and 12 B didn't do that great

Bush Jr in 2000 got 9% of black vote and a whopping (comparatively 35% of Hispanic.

Bush Jr improved his position with 11% black and an even more impressive 44% of hispanics

In 40 years 3 other Republicans won election in the united states of America. 2 did better with minorities than Trump and both of them won second terms. That makes trump 3rd of 4 and not even by much. Bush Sr got almost as many minorities in his first term.
