It's small comfort, but a large portion of that 40% just vote straight R all the way down the ballot without the slightest bit of knowledge of who they are voting for.
That's no comfort at all..
Honestly, this is so, so important. They're as unreachable as MAGAts and it's time to stop pretending otherwise. Moderate policies watering down every single plan, "reaching out" to the other side with centrist compromises that will excite and energize exactly no one... I guarantee you, there's many rural, low-educated voters that will never in their lives put a 'D' on their ballot no matter what. We need to actually show what we can do for workers in this country with big, bold legislation that will tangibly improve people's lives.
I am guessing most of that large portion were still aware of the "black Nazi" shit and it wasn't enough to make them think maybe they shouldn't vote straight R.
I don't think many R voters in NC have any contact with news outside of the
foxbreitbartoannwhatever conservative talking head is popular now.On the other hand I agree that if they heard about it it wouldn't have changed their vote, though.
That is where the fostering of the idea that the media is unreliable comes in. Even if they heard this, they didn't believe it to be true.
You're talking about these people.
So of course they would also prefer a Nazi.
Anything but "the other team" winning.
I know it's so normalized now, but their ancestors would be ashamed.
Never mind their ancestors, their past selves. Do you think they would have worn a shirt like that under Reagan? Or even under Bush Jr.? They would have screamed at anyone they saw wearing a shirt like that about being some sort of commie traitor. Despite Bush Jr. being post-communism.
that would require 100% voter turnout, when the US doesn't even come close. please try and remember that. if you go off just voting age population, only 27.18% of people voted for cheeto man. if you include everyone, that figure drops to just 20.59%.
35% is his ride or die base. The rest is just dumb as shit.
sounds about right.
50 percent of the US voted for Trump, I tgink wie already knew that.
Robinson seems like someone I would expect Americans to vote for. If you really think about it, it's because they are themselves like him.
To be fair, a lot of them don't know the full context. Don't underestimate how much the average voter can be out of touch with news. Many of them only care about politics every four years or so.
