Why is the focus on Black men when fewer than 25% voted for Trump. Meanwhile more than double that percentage of white women voted for Trump. Where is the analysis of their bizarre voting behavior?
Exactly like 2016.
White women gave Trump the Presidency because deep down, they know structural racism benefits them more than any other group besides white men.
This is the big zionist media lie they used to favour Trump.
“More pro business” does not mean better economy and jobs. It just means making the oligarchs even richer.
If media keeps telling you Biden economy is shit, even when its not, you have to be very economically sophisticated to know they are lying for Trump/GOP.
There will be no tax breaks for tips, overtime, or social security. These are not Republican “values”. Only slavery is. Tax cuts for corporations and rich will happen. Tariffs and antagonizing world will not reindustrialize America.
Media enabling a confident liar, with massive Zionist money, is what got him elected.
As we transition into full-blown tyranny, and the out-group begins to grow, I’m trying to educate myself about how to cope with it, survive and maybe even resist. I have found that discussions among black Americans online are extremely enlightening in this regard, presumably because they have existed forever in a precarious state, something like that which many more of us are about to be thrust. I’m not interested in scapegoating black males over this election. This happened because too many Americans are dumb fucks, ruled by emotions, and gullible as hell. End of story.
I’m fucking sick of talking about race as if it means anything at all compared to class. We need a two step program
- Tax the fucking billionaires out of existence
- Stop destroying the biosphere
Want to make that program palatable? We use the billionaire taxes to make life suck less for everyone in a clear, food-on-the-God-damn-table-and-children- in-decent-schools Kind of way.
Racism is real and deadly, but what are we gonna do? Bully the racists into being less racist? Send them off to camps for re-education? Let’s just focus on giving everyone enough money that they don’t have to rely on some racist boss to give them a job, or a racist landlord to give them (allow then to pay for) a home.
Healthcare not tied to employment too pls.
Sounds good until you factor in the need for votes to get such policies in place and the fact that it won’t happen because the racists are responding to media stimulus.
We look forward to the job and economic opportunities that the asteroid will provide.
I expect many posts in the “leopards ate my face” category from that group.
Boy, are they going to be surprised when the minimum wage goes down and what little worker protections US workers have are gone and the economy tanks because of Trump tarrifs and the retaliatory tarrifs from the rest of the world
Work will set them free unfortunately
I expected this after watching Khalid Attaf videos of talking to customers in his family’s gas station/convenience store. It was depressing to see the reasons people were planning to vote this way. If you watch this, save at least a thread of sanity and don’t read the comments.
I guess we had Too Much rising wages and record unemployment that it made them all nervous of when the fuckening was going to happen.
Lol. I ain’t touching this shit with a sky track forklift with a 20 ft boom
You gon learn today…
God, this article is awful.
There’s stuff like this:
A majority of voters nationally said Trump was a strong leader; slightly fewer than half said the same about Harris.
…which implies there’s some significant difference here without giving you the specific numbers. Is this 51% to 49%? They go into the Latino specifics, but only for Trump, but even break it down further to say what percent of Latinos think Trump is strong versus the percentage of Latinas that think Trump is strong.
The AP is always held up as this infallibly unbiased source, but even if we agree that being unabashedly both-sides centrist is unbiased, that’s not even close to what’s happening here. To even remotely both-sides this you’d have to show all the people that think asking the question of Trump’s strength is an absolute joke and it’s bizarre we’re even discussing it because the only people that believe in strongman leadership are literal fascists.
With respect to the actual headline and meat of the article, it also doesn’t challenge the assumption that Trump would be better for the economy. If you’re going to include people who were brainwashed into believing that, you have to juxtapose them with the endless historical precedents and current studies that show his policies will absolutely be detrimental to the economy. Even corporations are going to tank in the long term, because you can’t steal from the working class forever.
By continuing Trump’s campaign propaganda without serious challenge, this is a right-wing article in support of his administration. A more centrist article would say something closer to “Trump tricks public into believing he’ll be better for the economy” because that’s the reality of what happened.
Fuck this scapegoating bullshit.
Boy are they going to be disappointed
Work camps are a job.
Maybe democrats should have been talking about black jobs like Trump did. What is a black job anyhow? Is that what all those text messages that went out to black people when Trump was announced the winner of the election we’re about? Head hunters looking for new recruits to work in the exciting new field of… checks notes, uh, picking cotton.
Fuck people are ignorant.
There’s still time for them to hop in the strawberry fields after the deportations, then unionize and strike and demand better wages before Musk gets rid of OSHA and collective bargaining
Most Latinos do not work in the fields. Many of us have been here for several generations. There are many types of Latinos. (Disclaimer: I voted, phonebanked, and canvassed for Kamala.)
I was more trying to say that most of the jobs Trump will create are the absolute shit-ass cash jobs no one wanted to do in the first place, after he does his undocumented mass deportation stuff, and boiled the sentiment down to a colloquialism
OK, fair enough.
I really wanna be wrong about this but when companies start stockpiling pre-tariff stuff and moving manufacturing in, it’s gonna show up as a lot of expense and might plunge us into a correction and really dry up the job market. Lots of companies are wringing out earnings beats with revenue misses thanks to layoffs and stuff like that so it’s kinda losing steam to begin with.
I’ve been trying to think why a lot of bajillionaires are sitting on so much cash in this kind of environment, and aside from the market generally looking overpriced/slim pickings, that’s the only other thing I can envision
To be honest, they were going to be disappointed either way.
Life is disappointment. I still think a sane person on average would rather have a rainy day than someone piss in their Corn Flakes.
What about a bunch of rainy days followed by someone pissing in your Corn Flakes anyway?
Maybe if so many people weren’t content with, and excusing away, constant choices between different types of disappointment, we wouldn’t have ended up where we are now. It is possible for something other than disappointment to exist…
Black voters went from
9 Biden - 1 Trump
to
8 Harris - 2 Trump.
What got Trump elected was white people. This article tries to paint a narrative which does not exist.
If it were up to black and latinos Harris would be president.
What got trump elected was PPL NOT VOTING.
TRUMP GOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF VOTES EVERY YIME
So what got Trump elected was the Dems not listening to voters and losing them?
Yep. On the other hand, it seems like people aren’t worried enough about Trump to vote against him. No one loved Biden, but he was better than Trump. People just don’t seem to mind anymore.
What got Trump elected was Democrats kicking out their base to make room for Liz Cheney and refusing to stop a genocide.
I’m not blaming white men for Trump winning. I’m blaming the DNC.
Thank you for saying this. I noticed in 2008 when Prop 8 was voted on in California that Black people (men in particular) are really the preferred scapegoat when things go wrong. All this despite their negligible numbers. 12 million white women (from 20 million) could vote for something detrimental to society and it’ll be crickets but let 10,000 (from 100,00) Black men vote for the same bad policy and somehow the story will be about the Black men.
This is an example of the so-called subtle bigotry that really isn’t so subtle.
Still twice the amount of votes compared to the last election, which leaves me with my mouth open.
It’s like voting for the wolf when you are part of a flock of sheep because the other sheep you could elect instead is not exactly the way you picture the perfect sheep.
Interesting! I don’t think you’re making it up, but do you have a source for that? I’d like to learn more.
Here is one suggesting even higher numbers of black Democrat voters https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11/6/us-election-2024-results-how-black-voters-shifted-towards-trump
Hi, not comment-op, but… Here’s one of the first set of exit polls to look over: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls
Though it’s a little too early for real analysis, since ballots are still being counted. Really the most interesting questions are things like: in tipping-point states (like PA, MI, WI, maybe GA or NC) how did the vote/turnout shift? That sort of analysis takes a bit longer, though, so we’re stuck with clickbait articles like the one posted above.
