That's wild

Non-black folk in the US—your reality has been propagandised

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

Propaganda works.

I'm a white man in a rural area in the south. Black folks who don't really know me often seem surprised when they hear me say something anti-Trump. And honestly, I understand completely.

No fucking way this is real data. Dont believe everything you see on the internet people this is clearly bullshit. Trump won yes but no fucking way is this data legit.

Remember when Democrats came away from 2024 trying to blame black men?

Pepperidge Farms remembers..

They failed and blamed BIPOC for their loss while white men and women are why Trump won. And I'm a white dude who voted for Harris.

And then they claimed they support Black Lives Matter. Brown people matter if they win, they don't care and will blame you if they lose.

Really guys

This is lemmy cmon, at least put in the effort to question the data source

How many of you even had an option to fill in your race on your voter registration form? My state doesn't even collect this info.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (4 children)

Its a shitpost that makes pearl-clutching liberals feel good.

Man = bad

White man = badder

🤷🏽‍♂️

All I see is one of the dumbest nations on the planet and a clear indication that things will continue to decline regardless of whether Donald Trump is wasting oxygen or not.

Dark future.

As an American who didn't vote for fascism, I wish I could argue with you.

What the flying fuck is wrong with Latinos?

When I was growing up in the 90s and 2000s, Latinos almost almost always voted democrat. What changed? How did they end up voting for the party that hates them the most?

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Republicans and fascist strongmen appeal to machismo culture.

Latinos, especially first generation immigrants, trend strongly toward being staunchly religious and socially conservative. As such, they tend to think Republicans, who are also religious conservatives, will be on their side. There's also a subset of legal immigrants who hate illegal immigrants. Add in that first generation immigrants often aren't fluent in English yet and that creates a layer of information exchange that conservative news outlets can exploit; if you don't translate the overtly racist crap the politicians say, you can make your audience rely on your white-washed commentary.

As for the folks who's families have been in the US for generations and who grew up fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I'm honestly not sure.

This is made with the Cook Swingometer as shown here.

This isn't based on the actual election results of 2024, but projections based on 2020 election data.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

So technically it's probably even redder across the board, although if I remember exit polling, black man are still blue.

Still close tho, and very depressing.

Latino Men, stop listening to these propaganda stations.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (10 children)

If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.

I'm barely keeping my sanity from fraying, the last thing I need is to make it worse by surrounding myself with people I hate.

I'm not even black and I'm super proud of y'all for trying you god damned hardest to pull this shit off.

as a white guy to everyone else, I'm sorry the other white guys are so pathetic and weak they have to follow a conman that empowers them to be who they really are.

Interesting that the Asian men seem more closely aligned with the regional split of the whole country and less so on an ideological basis.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

To be fair, it's not a very well defined group. It's heavily split by country of origin and economic status. Imagine differences between Indian men with traditional values, Hmong refugees settled in the midwest generations ago, 6th generation Chinese in Chinatown enclaves, or 1st generation Chinese recent grads from Beijing starting up in Tech, etc..

Other racial groups also lose out on interesting distinctions (e.g. Cubans are super red) but tend to still be fairly homogeneous in political views historically.

White men I can understand (if not agree with). But come on Latinos, you should be fucking better than this.

"Immigrants are poisoning the blood of America"

"Yeah, ese. You tell 'em."

At least the ones in California appeared to know what was up.

In 2020 black males had 80 Biden - 20 Trump and black females 90 Biden - 10 Trump. I'm generally color blind but it's hard not to see how american black culture is so much more attentive to contemporary issues and somehow pop culture managed to twist "woke" as a bad word. crazy.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Pop culture didn't do that, billionaires who own all media did that.

One wonders why the GOP passed the Save Act making it harder for married women to vote...

By random coincidence, eliminating women's suffrage is within the overton window of the Republican party.
