Unfortunately, we now get to find out how wrong they are...

 

I’m sorry you see a significant difference.

 

That Latino shift right is going to hit the blue states hardest yeah

 

No tolerance for the intolerant

 

So what are you going to do if Trump trashes our democracy? Was it worth it?

Again, I'm not a democrat.

 

The right:
"Deport 20 million people"
"Eradicate transgenders"
"Rule as a dictator on day 1"

The left:
"How about fuck you"

The moderates, clutching their pearls:
"Gasp! Show some respect!"

 

Some people in here are legitimately making the case that this is why Kamala lost. We need to be more tolerant of the intolerant.

 

There it is!

 

Meanwhile, the liberals:
"What we need is a means-tested semi-available government grant (funds pending) to eliminate the word "citizen" from all community center pamphlets in a 25 square radius of the city of Detroit. That will solve the problems."

 

What? Who tells minorities they are terrible? Democrats? And what did Trump promise minorities that the left did not?

 

We aren’t getting anywhere when those first two rows are like that

 

Yeah when the Trump flag clad pickup truck pulls up to my house to investigate reports of a queer living within shouting distance of children, I'll be sure to be extremely tolerant

 

I’m glad you’re on our side, and loud about it. That helps a lot.

 

How people cant see the difference is mind boggling. A man walks up to a lady and says "you are a gross illegal immigrant go back to mexico" and someone walks by and says 'fuck you, leave her alone'. They are both hateful and intolerant? This is part of the reason we are fucked as a country.

 

Sorry to quote my own thing but it hit me that those splits in the white breakdown basically account for the queer vs straight splits among white people. That is to say, it’s entirely possible well north of 9 in 10 straight white people voted for trump.

 

That’s fair; the splits are national, and pockets of blue exist everywhere (Portland too is way more gay than average). But on a national level? Hell, even on a county level in Oregon, it’ll be way more red than we might feel comfortable with acknowledging.

 

does anybody think this might have had an impact:

12-24 months ago, in the peak of inflation and lost purchasing power, blue collar workers, especially in the rust belt, were struggling to pay their mortgages or pay their rent; and scrambling with the costs of feeding their families; and dealing with the cost of gas and energy. While that was going on, at least once a month they heard about the Biden Administration doing it's level best to pass student loan forgiveness; and Harris was often the face of that

is it possible that generated any resentment and cost the D's voters, especially considering that students are the least likely voters?
