Way to absolve the joke that is the American voter of any blame…for voting for a person who committed treason, and said he would pardon those who committed treason. Which he did.

It's the truth. Kamala was well-spoken and overly qualified. She had answers to cost of living and healthcare. Meanwhile, Trump just said "you're poor because of brown people!!1!" And... that messaging won.

The reality is Kamala is a black woman, and Trump has been attributing everything evil in the world to people who are not white. Are we going to play stupid and pretend that has nothing to do with it? Or, are we going to at least try to be honest with ourselves about the current state of American politics?

There's no denying that the white racist constituency is a major part of the Trump coalition, but it's not all there is to it; remember, Latino men went in almost 50% for Trump, and a surprising number of non-white immigrants in general voted for him.

Hence the emphasis on Harris being a woman, not just non white.

The reality is people like feeling superior to others, whether it be lighter skin looking down on others, or men looking down on women. And even those below not wanting their own to make gains (such as other women).

My immigrant non white grandmother told me she wouldn’t vote for Harris because she’s a woman. This is a woman who basically did what men told her to do her whole life, and I suspect she doesn’t like the idea that maybe she could or should have fought for more for herself (or her daughters).
