Jfc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (1 child) The reason poor men voted for trump "Poor men" didn't vote for Trump. People without college degrees voted disproportionately for Trump (men and women alike). Even then, the state you're in and your ethnic/religious persuasion was a stronger casual factor. Trump lost in a landslide with poor black and east-asian men, for instance. And he lost on the margin among poor men in the northeast and west coast. Trump actually won with a majority of white women, against Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. This comic neatly illustrates why. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Redditmodstouchgrass@lemmy.zip -6 points 1 day ago (2 children) Gee, I wonder if there's a correlation between not being educated and being poor... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 child) Is ‘poor people are poor because they’re stupid’ really the message you want to put out? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Redditmodstouchgrass@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 day ago (1 child) You know, it would be really nice if people would think before they post a stupid comment.
