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.

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
