How the fuck do you get a 33-point swing in favour of the guy campaigning on an ethnic purge against you?
This exit polling graph tells me everything and helps me understand absolutely nothing:
Trump won Latino men 53-45 after campaigning for months on the basis of an ethnic purge against Latino people, promising to expel millions of people, and if you think that’s only going to be undocumented people, you’re out of your goddamn fucking mind and you have to know that.
Trump won Latino men 53-45 after a hate rally in New York City against Puerto Ricans, who are Latino, and who got the word out.
White women still voted for Trump, but swung towards Harris. It’s stupid and it’s evil.
But how the fuck do you win the people you’re campaigning on purging?
Without this swing, I think I was mostly right. My higher hopes hinged on white women shifting more than they did, and they didn’t, which is fucking self-destructive. But this… I just… did not see this coming. It wasn’t in any of my calculations. It’s suicidal past a level I don’t know how to handle.
How do you get votes from people you’re promising to purge?
And now I don’t know what to think at all.
