    Maybe the answer is only letting black men vote next time.

    Or we could give their votes more power. Something like... each of their votes counts for 5/3 votes. I think that would be a fair compromise.

    I'm a white man in a rural area in the south. Black folks who don't really know me often seem surprised when they hear me say something anti-Trump. And honestly, I understand completely.

    Remember when Democrats came away from 2024 trying to blame black men?

    All I see is one of the dumbest nations on the planet and a clear indication that things will continue to decline regardless of whether Donald Trump is wasting oxygen or not.

    Dark future.

    What the flying fuck is wrong with Latinos?

    When I was growing up in the 90s and 2000s, Latinos almost almost always voted democrat. What changed? How did they end up voting for the party that hates them the most?

    Because the democrats made the mind-numbingly stupid decision to pivot right like they always do, this time on immigration. No more, "Building the wall is racist," no more, "No one is illegal," instead it was, "We're the ones who are actually going to build the wall, Trump's all talk." To this end, they attempted to pass a bill that would have greatly expanded the president's ability to crack down on immigrants.

    They figured, as they always do, that everyone would simply fall in line behind them as the "lesser evil." Instead, the result was that they undermined their argument that stricter immigration laws were grounded in racism (which they are, of course), and failed to distinguish themselves from the Republican position. Many Latinos have conservative positions on other issues, and, perceiving little significant difference between the two parties' stances on immigration, they voted based on other, less important cultural issues where there was a meaningful difference. It's worth noting that some people have the sentiment, "We came here legally so they can too," and it was only when there was (correct) messaging that cracking down on undocumented immigrants was a slippery slope that would endanger legal immigrants that they were able to be persuaded to set aside other cultural issues. This messaging was abandoned because it was considered potentially alienating the the oh so precious (white) moderate Republicans, who also didn't vote for them, because they're nonexistent/unwinnable.

    This is one of many, many examples of how moving towards the "center" can alienate voters and lose votes, especially when it involves acting against your constituents' material interests.

    Latinos, especially first generation immigrants, trend strongly toward being staunchly religious and socially conservative. As such, they tend to think Republicans, who are also religious conservatives, will be on their side. There's also a subset of legal immigrants who hate illegal immigrants. Add in that first generation immigrants often aren't fluent in English yet and that creates a layer of information exchange that conservative news outlets can exploit; if you don't translate the overtly racist crap the politicians say, you can make your audience rely on your white-washed commentary.

    As for the folks who's families have been in the US for generations and who grew up fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I'm honestly not sure.

    This is made with the Cook Swingometer as shown here.

    This isn't based on the actual election results of 2024, but projections based on 2020 election data.

    If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.

    A lot of men are finding out that they aren't actually white enough for the Republican Party.

    Interesting that the Asian men seem more closely aligned with the regional split of the whole country and less so on an ideological basis.

    To be fair, it's not a very well defined group. It's heavily split by country of origin and economic status. Imagine differences between Indian men with traditional values, Hmong refugees settled in the midwest generations ago, 6th generation Chinese in Chinatown enclaves, or 1st generation Chinese recent grads from Beijing starting up in Tech, etc..

    Other racial groups also lose out on interesting distinctions (e.g. Cubans are super red) but tend to still be fairly homogeneous in political views historically.

    White men I can understand (if not agree with). But come on Latinos, you should be fucking better than this.

    "Immigrants are poisoning the blood of America"

    "Yeah, ese. You tell 'em."

    At least the ones in California appeared to know what was up.

    I'm not even black and I'm super proud of y'all for trying you god damned hardest to pull this shit off.

    as a white guy to everyone else, I'm sorry the other white guys are so pathetic and weak they have to follow a conman that empowers them to be who they really are.

    By random coincidence, eliminating women's suffrage is within the overton window of the Republican party.

    In 2020 black males had 80 Biden - 20 Trump and black females 90 Biden - 10 Trump. I'm generally color blind but it's hard not to see how american black culture is so much more attentive to contemporary issues and somehow pop culture managed to twist "woke" as a bad word. crazy.
