2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

There's always been a false equivalency with the media in terms of how Republicans are covered and how Democrats are covered.

A Democrat has to have all his/her policy written out, analyzed and debated.

A Republican just has to show up and bash the Dem's ideas.

Rinse and repeat.

And you are seeing that IN THIS THREAD....

“Those most enthralled with Donald Trump were not at the very bottom — the illiterate, the hungry,” she writes. Rather, Trump’s biggest fans could be found among “the elite of the left-behind,” meaning people “who were doing well within a region that was not.” [...]
But when you factored in local conditions — the fact that your dollar can buy more in Biloxi than Boston — the relationship reverses. “Locally rich” white people, those who had higher incomes than others in their zip codes, were much more likely to support Trump than those who were locally poor. These people might make less money than a wealthy person in a big city, but were doing relatively well when compared to their neighbors.
Put those two results together, and you get a picture that aligns precisely with Hochschild’s observations. Trump’s strongest support comes from people who live in poorer parts of the country, like KY-5, but are still able to live a relatively comfortable life there."

Trump’s biggest fans aren’t who you think

It's both. Just look at the data. ~60% of adult white males will be voting for Trump in November. They aren't all redneck hicks from trailer parks or middle of nowhere towns in the Midwest. The GOP is built on the "fear" of the white man being left behind in America. Not just in numbers or economically, it's everything, they are also incels who blame everyone else because women won't talk to them. They are losers who made fun of at school... They are tech bros who are upset because society labeled them as nerds...

There are a lot of over 50 Mitt Romney type Republicans who will be influenced by that endorsement.

no one who supports kamala and grasps the stakes of this race will be turned off by what any thinking individual sees as a strategic gesture that gives reluctant republicans tacit approval to vote for her.

you’re overthinking it.

You have a naive view of Republicans if you think Cheney has any influence on current GOP voters. They didn't even like him when he was in office.

White people vote for GOP candidate ~60%-40%. Even in NY state Trump got 53% of the white vote. The white Trump voter is far more prevalent amongst the whites than people think. A lot of them are just in the closet.

Ofcourse we’ll take his vote, but the way some of you are wetting your panties over the worst and most evil leader of the 21st century is disgusting.

This is a man who stole the election in 2000, was negligent on 9/11, started an illegal War that resulted in the deaths/injury of a million people, added fuel to hyper partisanship fire, shot a guy in the face, lied to the country etc.

It’s like some of you lack any real core beliefs.

I look forward to yall celebrating a Trump endorsement in the future.

So one poll has Trump at +1 and two polls have Kamala at +8. at this point, why even pay attention to these shyts?
