Trump won about 50 counties in the Midwest that hadn't gone GOP since the 1920s.

There's absolutely some truth to that.

What Zakaria said is racist itself

No there isn't.

White racist bigots didn't all of a sudden just rise up and vote in the millions when they otherwise wouldn't have voted.

Any white racist bigots voted for the Republican candidate in 2012, 2008, 2004, etc.

White racists as Fareed Zakaria is picturing in his head always vote Republican.

In the same way Obama won because of racist people.

The fact is that he won because of white people that hadn't voted republican since Reagan. You can spin it however you want, but those are the facts.

Unfortunately for Fareed, I can definitively disprove that, in what I do objectively think is my best thread on this board: A Comprehensive Study on Election Numbers

quote:

Race
White- Hillary down 2%, Trump down 1%, Independents up 3%

Black- Hillary down 5%, Trump up 2%, Independents up 3%

Asian- Hillary down 8%, Trump up 3%, Independents up 5%

Hispanic- Hillary down 6%, Trump up 2%, Independents up 4%

Other- Hillary down 2%, Trump down 1%, Independents up 3%


Maybe it could have more to do with you running the shittiest candidate in history that minorities didn't want to be associated with? Or maybe just keep on calling all white people racists and see how that works out for you in 2020.

Yeah, because old white racists voted for Barrack Hussein Obama twice over before switching to Trump.

Please look at my specific numbers that show that white vote went down for Trump compared to Romney while all the minorities went up for Trump?

And will continue to win as long as our kids aren't mixed race. Is that okay?

Is it okay to say that with this coming from the left?

The only way I can think of is the Orlando Massacre, with Trump's extremely strong response and Hillary and Obama's extremely weak response. I personally think that won Trump the Presidency definitively, and within that month would have ecstatically voted for Trump due to that speech.

Gays were down 8% for Trump compared to Romney. So if the former I agree, but I don't if it's the later, or you could be referring to something else I'm not grasping.

I meant can, not can't. Sorry.


I think the gender bullshite finally drove a lot of people in the rust belt to the edge. I think the average person was tired of being told they have to accept that there are 129 different genders and we all need to accommodate accordingly.

I'm to the point where if I'm going to be accused of it no matter what, I'll just go ahead and revel in it.
