Another reminder that the only demographic of which the majority voted Trump are white people

Nah its still worth talking about, because it was the swing voters that won the election for Trump.

Comparing 2020 to 2024:

  • White voters swung 1% increasing their vote to 56%
  • Black voters doubled their vote (wtf) from 8% to 16%.
  • Latino voters also increased their vote 8% (wtf) from 35% to 43%
  • Even 'all other races' increased their vote from 39% to 41%.

So 'wtf were these people thinking, voting for the leopard that says their particular faces are the most delicious?' is a completely fair question to raise.

that was the max they felt they could get away with from hacking voting machines….
remember when trump couldn’t find a group of black people that supported him anywhere, so they used AI generated pictures… but somehow millions of black people voted for him?
the voting machines were hacked, the “stop the steal” shit was all about getting recon on the voting machines

I've seen people post compelling evidence that there's been widespread unexplained vote tally inconsistencies that correlate with "Russian tail" patterns, like that Arizona group that is attempting to get their state vote investigated - but it seems like the electoral integrity investigators are literally being fired via Trump's/DOGE's purity culls, so that's stalled. At the same time, Democrats and public figures that have the power to raise hell about it are biting their tongue because they don't want to claim the election may have been tampered with lacking solid evidence; worried they'll be undermining confidence in future elections.

It's a goddamn mess.

i think the whole “worried about confidence in future elections” thing is bullshit… they’re sitting on their hands because they’re in on it/controlled by the oligarchs.

I wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic... These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.

I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden... 2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he "doubled" his support
