If you are to ask people on Reddit and Lemmy, you'd think these people didn't even exist.

Always understimating the reach of the Republican party. There are black Republicans, as well as Asian and Indian ones. Hispanic Republicans as well. But certain communities online want to continue the stereotype that the GOP is only made up of old white men.

    There are about 170M registered voters in the US. Roughly 1/3 identify as R which means roughly 53M Americans. Even if 89% are white, that's still close to 6 million non white Republicans out there. That's not an insignificant number of people. Especially when you consider that GOP actively votes against these groups.
