  • Not fallacy; seems pretty on-point. Bigots coalesce around far-right extremism, and thus MAGA. That logically tracks.

    Or what, you think blue-haired hippies preaching solidarity are dyed-in-the-wool bigots or something, lol?

    By all means, I’m waiting for your evidence of where all these bigots are at that aren’t core maga – and also how this intersects with the facts that Biden was polling worse than Harris, and Michelle Obama has always polled higher than Trump ;)

    Last chance, bud.





  • Go ahead and sell me that bridge because there is a complete and total lack of evidence to support the claim. Can’t really prove a counterfactual. Others made the claim she lost because of this; when asked for evidence, they always come up short.

    Counterpoints:

    • Biden polled worse than Harris at the end. (White Guy polling worse than Black Woman). Hence the switch in the first place, even Biden agreed!

    • Michelle Obama has always polled higher than anyone against Trump (Black Woman polling better than White Guy).

    Sexists bigots were already core Republican voters never voting for any D no matter who. The battle was lost elsewhere.





  • I have some insight as to why. As someone who canvassed, who actively spoke to Hispanic activists for Trump in person no less. Though I’ll leave that alone considering its anecdotal nature unless you’re interested.

    Statistically, these groups – men across the board – are significantly less educated and thus susceptible to misinformation. They were explicitly targeted from GamerGate and onward.

    If you break down exit-polling, you’ll find a key factor in predicting how someone voted was in fact their education attainment and less so their gender or skin color.

    Does that mean they were less likely to vote for Harris? Yes, but it also means they’d be less likely to vote for any Democrat. More importantly, those who are actual bigots voting on pretenses of skin color or sex were core maga already.

    Put it another way: An Old White Guy Joe Biden was polling worse than Harris. At the same time, Reuters polling has always shown Michelle Obama – female person of color – to poll higher against Trump than literally anyone. Ever.
