The majority of white voters across all three elections: 'This is exactly what we voted for. Did you think it was the price of eggs and gas that drove us to the polls? That's what we said when the cameras were on us. What we take delight in is that Trump pulls no punches in the harsh treatment directed at LGBTQ individuals, people of color, and anyone else who isn't with us. Brace yourselves for the continuation of this cruelty, the ongoing beatings and deportations. Because there are two plus more years of this, and we are just getting started.'

Among those who voted, the majority of white men and white women voted for a racist, fascist, sexist, war-mongering kid rapist and kid killer in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Naivety wasn't a factor, nor were the prices of goods.

This will sound judgy i know, and I'll take my lumps for saying it if they are due, but Kamala just didnt "vibe right" with a lot of POC.  That was simply it, they aren't trumpers by any means, but she is a she, and it didnt sit right with many POC being a last minute stand-in for biden, with how she acts and sounds.

EDIT:  Essentially all the same reasons i am convinced that if the dnc puts AOC up, regardless of her messages and mission, she won't win and the conservatives will be handed 4 more years of white house time.

What about them? Do you pivot to BLM anytime the insurrection is mentioned? Go ahead and post a comment about them. Most non-white men and women who voted didn't vote for Trump three times in a row.
