Lost in ALL the media efforts to proclaim Donald Trump America’s Second Coming IS a basic of this campaign….
Kamala Harris attacking Trump and Just being a Strong Woman of color, seems to have been a barrier NOT to be crossed by voting American men and some women ….
AND….
With some American Women also, who Do NOT always Stick Together
The resentment cost Harris swing states that went for Joe Biden only four years ago…
We don’t cover up our women here in America like they do in some Muslim countries…
But?
It should be apparent that a good part of the voting population do NOT want a Strong woman leading the place….
Donald Trump IS a sexual predator
He’s been accused by scores of women of unwanted acts…..
He’s been fined for it….
Yet he got women ‘proud’ to vote for him this time….
For a second time?
The crying and whinning class bully has received the backing of crowd’s…
Does this make America Great?
Obama on support for Harris from Black men…
Fformer President Barack Obama offered an early warning last month about Harris’ problem with Black men when he told them they are “coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses” to not support Harris. He suggested many weren’t backing Harris because she’s a woman….
Trump collected male voters that Biden had 4 years ago….
But as in 2016, Trump’s 2024 victory was a largely male one and a largely white one. This time, though, he peeled off more men of color. For the first time, a majority of Latino men voted Republican. Trump’s support among white men, and his overwhelming support among white men without college degrees, held steady. And as in 2020, roughly 20 percent of Black men voted for him (in 2016, that number was less than 15 percent). The one group that has moved significantly away from Trump is white college-grad women: This demographic never backed Trump en masse, but nearly 60 percent of them voted for Kamala Harris, compared with 51 percent who backed Hillary Clinton.
Gender was a major driver of Trump’s victory in 2016. Eight years later, pundits and analysts will be hunting for a newer, fresher explanation. But sometimes the truth simply asserts itself on repeat….
Most White Woman voted FOR the sexual the predator
National exit polls show that 53% of white women voted for an adjudicated rapistwhose previous actions in office laid waste to Roe vs. Wade. So much for Democrats tapping into the hidden power of a “silent majority” of women who were thought to be hiding their political views from their husbands. They were in step with white men, 59% of whom voted for the former president.
Remember way back to, say, three weeks ago, when the media and pollsters were prognosticating that Black men were leaving Harris for the other side? They were going to throw the election to the Republicans, many worried. But the very same exit polls show that just 20% of those men voted for Trump, and Black women’s support for him was barely at 7%. Both were nearly identical to 2020 levels, according to exit polls.
As disappointed Harris supporters perform a post-mortem on the vice president’s candidacy in an effort to root out America’s entrenched misogyny, they need to look in an entirely different direction — toward (white) women themselves.
More than 150 years after Susan B. Anthony was arrested for the crime of voting while female, we’ve still had just two female contenders who’ve made it to the top of the presidential ticket. Both lost to the same candidate, a man with less experience in lawmaking and public service but more disdain for women and their rights than any nominee in modern memory.
For many, it’s hard to imagine a mother or auntie who thinks it preferable to vote for a man who paid hush money to a porn star and bragged about groping women than for a scandal-free female candidate with more experience in politics. Or that such a large swath of women were unmoved to change their vote despite rape victims forced to give birth to their attacker’s child for lack of abortion access, or by deaths due to pregnancy complications in states where the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision has led to restrictions on doctors.
But these weak sisters exist — and persist. The same share of white women that voted for Trump over Harris, based on exit polls, supported Trump over Biden in 2020, which followed the plurality of white women who supported Trump over Clinton in 2016….
Note…
Harris still carried major majorities…
But NOT enough in the right places….
