What I CANNOT find is what % of each voted in different states. White men in Massachusetts are NOT like White men in Mississippi, and so on. Culture often trumps race. Can anyone find those statistics?11 Feb 2025 21:15 +0000at://did:plc:5iiq2gt3awkmbuh77h2mfxfi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhwlcyysj22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/gusdizerega.bsky.social/post/3lhmbcxkrrk2rProof of meme below. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/29/john-ratcliffe-hillary-clinton-russia-42302207 Feb 2025 18:49 +0000at://did:plc:5iiq2gt3awkmbuh77h2mfxfi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmbcxkrrk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/gusdizerega.bsky.social/post/3lhmbbr5pp22rProof is in post above.07 Feb 2025 18:48 +0000at://did:plc:5iiq2gt3awkmbuh77h2mfxfi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmbbr5pp22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/gusdizerega.bsky.social/post/3lhmb4qqxnk2rAll Trump's lies demonize someone. All his promises demonize someone. None appeals to decent, motives, let alone any noble ones. Even "Make America Great Again" means make America feared again. He appeals to that part of a person wishing to dominate others, to what is most evil within us.07 Feb 2025 18:46 +0000at://did:plc:5iiq2gt3awkmbuh77h2mfxfi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmb4qqxnk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/gusdizerega.bsky.social/post/3lhctwonh4k2uI posted a warning about a planned nationwide demonstration.
