First off, you make the assumption that our democracy will survive if Trump is elected in 24. Not sure if I'd make that assumption.
i don't think it's much of an assumption quite frankly, and the implication behind what you're saying is giving a hell of a lot more credit to trump as a person and the carny show of an administration he puts together than they deserve.
i would counter that a generally corrupt and only vaguely democratic political system is what the US has had for at least 150 years, arguably since its inception - pointing at trump and going "ok THIS is the one that is going to break the whole thing down" seems rather short sighted and silly to me.
this festering disease that is the US political system has been oozing its way along for quite a while and trump isn't a threat to it.
what IS a threat however is the degenerate shitbags that constitute the ideological right getting their own personal jesus as president and getting uppity, at the same time that what is ostensibly an opposition party sits back and whinges about the whole thing.
the threat to the US is an ideological one, not a political one.
He tried to steal the election in 2020. You can't have a democracy in any form if the votes from one side dosn't count.
hi, the year 2000 called, it would like its timely and relevant observations about politics back.
he tried and failed to steal an election. other far more competent republicans have already stolen elections.
this is like looking at brock lesnar coming at you from one direction and steven stegal coming at you from another and deciding to run away from steven segal.
Secondly, you have a much more jaded view of white women that I do. I don't think that they voted for him because he "embodies my values"!
my view isn't jaded, it's simple realistic and not veiled in some delusional fantasy that my personal political views are the default setting for reality and that anyone who deviates from it is mistaken and must be corrected.
also, you're wrong in what you think about why they voted for him.
People were surprised that the Latin vote is moving republican. Well, experts believe that it has to do with the fact that they tend to be pro-business, entrepreneurial and pro-economic development. Religion seems to drive it also. We know why older white men tend to vote republican.
well "people" are stupid, so that's no big surprise. humans are essentially upright ambulatory retard machines, so the fact that a pleasant but unactioned white lie (the ostensible policy platform of the democratic party) eventually gives way to people choosing a completely stupid delusional fantasy (the core ideology of conservatism) is not only predictable but completely inevitable.
Why is it taboo to discuss what might be driving white women this direction?
it's not - i AM discussing it. i gave you the answer.
a huge amount of women have a worldview that idolizing trump as the perfect manifestation of what humanity has to offer, and so of course they vote for him.
it's not any more complicated than trump embodying the values that these voters care most about.
OP doesn't ask why people love burgers. He wants to know why the correlation between gender and burger-loving changed so dramatically.
