Nah its still worth talking about, because it was the swing voters that won the election for Trump.

Comparing 2020 to 2024:

  • White voters swung 1% increasing their vote to 56%
  • Black voters doubled their vote (wtf) from 8% to 16%.
  • Latino voters also increased their vote 8% (wtf) from 35% to 43%
  • Even 'all other races' increased their vote from 39% to 41%.

So 'wtf were these people thinking, voting for the leopard that says their particular faces are the most delicious?' is a completely fair question to raise.

I wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic... These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.

I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden... 2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he "doubled" his support
