    No, the white Americans didn't shift their support to Trump. That was the minorities.

    I think we have a bigger problem than just bigotry. Bigotry is just a lever that is being used.

    emotions are high. Might want to allow for a bit of excess

    It’s a slap in the face that the younger generation is even paying into social security.

    If you read his post, what about it involves minorities? I think 3 of the bullet points are almost specifically about white people.

    Facts are facts. If one say "fuck you" five times and say I am hateful, one should see a doctor.

    it's a lot deeper than "hurt feelings"

    there is only a small percentage of persuadable voters and the majority of those are white. They were persuaded by Obama, twice, and Biden once. They weren't persuaded by Hillary or Kamala.

    Gen Z chose Gaza over the US. It's that simple.

    They did but young voters never vote. Stop pretending they ever did.

    Not sure where you got that from? @Everything Beagle stated 1 in 5 women were raped. You then posted 1 in 5 women were sexually assaulted. I'm not sure if either figure is correct, but there is clearly a difference.

    So now we’ve found out that being morally corrupt isn’t a frowned upon among the country. In fact, it’s encouraged.

    Nah I think it's just as simple as people putting money over everything else. Most of the people who voted for him seem to think he's going to magically fix the economy. That's all they care about.

    I'm sure almost every woman would rather be sexually assaulted rather than raped.....is that what you're trying to say?? Like there is any fucking difference. Gee, I wonder who YOU voted for......

    the counting isn't done yet, but the percentages might not shift much. It's interesting to compare the left coast, 2020 vs 2025

    California - Biden 63.5%....Harris 57.3%
    Oregon - Biden 56.5%....Harris 53.8%
    Washington - Biden 58.0%....Harris 58.6%
    Hawaii - Biden 63.7%....Harris 63.0%

    New Mexico - Biden 54.3%....Harris 51.6%

    New York - Biden 60.9%....Harris 55.8%
    Massachusetts - Biden 65.6%....Harris 61.4%
    Maryland - Biden 64.4%....Harris 60.2%
    Illinois - Biden 57.5%....Harris 53.8%

    all solid blue states with big populations and except for Washington, Harris lost major ground in all those states

    One is attempted rape and the other is successful penetration. I don't necessarily think anybody was trying to argue legal definitions.

    The point still stands, don't you think?

    If you tell somebody they are terrible they probably aren't going to show up and vote for you. So they didn't show up to vote Dem.

    Republicans gave minorities something to actually vote FOR rather than something to be afraid of. Even if that was a lie or a bait and switch.

    Imagine if Democrats gave people something to vote FOR and actually delivered...

    Turns out many here who support the party that preaches tolerance isn't so tolerant of differing views/opinions.
    This thread is getting out of hand. Show some respect for eachother.
    and again for the record - I am not a fan of Trump - I am a moderate.
