My Take — 05
American Politics has Become a Matter of Black or White.
Whose side you are on, says exactly who you are.
There is no middle. Appealing to “the sensible middle” is why Biden is failing.
Trump got more votes than any candidate in US history. Except for Biden.
Now consider who voted for Trump.
2 out 3 White Americans voted for Trump (42% of the voting pool)
1 out of 10 Black Americans voted for Trump (1% of the voting pool)
1 out of 3 Hispanic Americans voted for Trump (6% of the voting pool)
1 in 50 Asian, Pacific Islander, Indigenous Americans voted for Trump (effectively 0% of the voting pool).
That’s the 49% of the country that voted Trumpublican in 2020.
7 out of every 8 people who voted for Trump were WHITE.
Those White Americans, that 42% of the population, represents 139 million people. That’s the Trumpublican party, the “Trump Nation”. WHITE and not afraid to vote their racism.
