it is mostly white people who vote trumpist, but not most white people...it's about 30%...no more than one third...that isn't most...it's a three way tie for third...Who votes for republicans these days Roger? Blacks, Asians, some Hispanics who consider themselves European. Where does the 4 point spread between Biden and Trump come from? I know what the polls say, I posted enough of them and I've seen the demographic of Trump's rallies. Who do the dog whistles speak to? Whites make up a significant majority of the American population. I know it is a dynamic situation and attitudes change over time and generations, especially today, but there is a big short term danger over the next couple of election cycles and a permeant danger unless the republican party either dies or reforms itself. The only way I can see that happening is open primaries, to get rid of extremists, but some places will still elect them. Extreme Gerrymandering also concentrates lunatics and brought you the freedom caucus that not even the republicans could control. Biden only won the election by a few thousand votes, a razor thin margin in the electoral college, sure he won the popular vote, but that doesn't make you president. After 4 years of Trump explain the fanatical loyalty of half the country to the worst POS Christ ever created? I've proposed several theories for why people's chains are being jerked so hard their heads pop off. I'm afraid Cheeto Jesus did separate the sheep from the goats and there is a reason they are sheep.
but 30% is still a very significant portion of the white population, especially considering that the other 70% isn't unified against them, at least 15% are unaffiliated at all, and could easily vote for third party or independent candidates, and of the other 55%, at least 20% isn't going to vote at all...that makes every vote important.
