Just give up humans, you have no future, you are not viable as a species.

God, the whole of Lemmy is such a meme right now; the majority of women voted Trump as well!

Lmao!...

I think the ones who didn't vote for Harris are desperately rationalizing to blame Trump on somebody besides themselves.

The majority of White women voted for him 53% to 45% (not sure what percent of those are in the evangelical christian demographic).

Women overall voted against him 53% to 45%. Funny how those numbers were the exact opposite. Anyway it was a smaller margin than Dems were hoping/expecting from women.

Yeah but only 39% of bears voted Trump.

no, 20 million Americans withheld their votes.

that greasy orange fuck actually lost votes.

Turnout was still pretty high compared to historic numbers.

2020 had some of the easiest voting rules in US history, with universal no excuse mail in.

Democrats were more likely to mail in votes than Republicans. So (largely Republican) states cracked down on mail in voting shortly after the election.

The participation plunge you're seeing is largely the result of that decision

This isn't going to be popular, but part of the problem is not acknowledging that 42%. It's fucking insulting, frankly. Plenty of women voted for the bear.

52% of white women voted for trump.

Chances are that many of the people crying about men voting trump, are part of a demographic that mostly voted trump.

Trump apparently won the popular vote anyway. Most of everyone who voted, voted trump. But let's focus on men and then be surprised that young men who are very insecure about themselves anyway, feel attacked by the left and choose the right.

It's amazing how I've never ever seen a single thread on this metaphor and not seen at least two to three male users get furious and thus prove the metaphor 100% correct. Not once. Every single time. It's like catnip they can't resist it.

It's like it's some response to being insulted.

It's amazing how I've never seen a single thread negatively generalize half the population and not seen at least two or three people from that half of the population get indignant. It's almost like people don't like being stereotyped.

Goofball.
