"Let’s stop with the mental gymnastics. They know exactly why they stand behind Trump. They consistently vote for him to maintain the status quo. They benefit from it. They want white supremacy. They want systemic racism. They want a wall. They want us to be deported."

1. They don't care how much they get hurt

as long as blacks get hurt more. All they want is for the people they despise to feel pain and fear and despair.

[Maraya1969]

4. I think she meant more like when Trump said he did something that was going

to make it harder for minorities to move into their communities. They probably want that. I thought it was awful for him to say that but I bet a lot of people want to make sure that happens.

We really do need to educate people somehow in this country.

[Boogiemack]

10. Sad thing is THEY don't get hurt. We do. nt

[lunasun]

12. +1

[Buckeye_Democrat]

2. Maybe all of the Karen videos were a clue?

[Tree-Hugger]

3. Yep.

And I was not spoken to kindly when I said I don't trust the white women vote. I know my own kind.

[My Pet Orangutan]

5. No so.

The 2020 exit poll is a kludge of the respondents who actually voted on election days, and telephone polls trying to get a sample of earlier voters The two are not comparable.

[whathehell]

19. Thank you.

[Beringia]

6. Hispanics helped Trump too

[Ms. Toad]

7. I see a slightly different story

The majority of whites (regardless of gender) voted for trump. That sucks. But white men voted for Trump at a greater rate than white women (58-55%) - and white women voted for Biden at a greater rate than white men did (43-40%).

I agree with the rest of your analysis - but it pertains equally (if not more) to white men.

[PirateRo]

8. Exactly, it is pointless and cruel and...

...then they want the African-American or other minority vote to help them out.

[whathehell]

21. Huh? As mentioned elsewhere, the headline only involves a PREDICTTION

not actual votes, and, as the other poster points out, it was based primarily on
same day voters which we know are mainly Republicans

African--Americans and Hispanics who vote Democratic are helping themselves out, and even some of them vote Republican.

[PirateRo]

28. I don't understand you comment

I am agreeing with the op.

And yes, Minorities voting democratic are helping themselves by voting their self-interest. Nothing wrong with that

[Hortensis]

9. This estimate is contradicted by other surveys. Maybe hold

any too-ready and overactive antagonism toward white women for later when info is firmed up. Then indulge against those who earned it.

[procon]

11. OK, so I fell for your exhortation to "read this",

only to find there was no additional info than was already included in the title bar.

Color me duped, shading into hoodwinked.

[bluestarone]

13. Looks like some white woman are

infatuated with this scum ass!

[whathehell]

23. Looks like some Black and Hispanic men are too

since 13 and 38 percent respectively, voted for Trump in 2016.

[anamnua]

15. I am reminded from a famous quote from the British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979.

'This is like turkeys voting for an early Christmas.'

[whathehell]

18. The votes aren't even fully COUNTED yet

The OP's headline is misleading..This number is based on exit polls and "predictions" only.

[whathehell]

16. Misleading headline:. "Exit polls PREDICT this to be 55%"

Exit polls and "predictions" Oh, gee -- When have those ever been wrong"

How 'bout we wait for the actual VOTES to be counted before we get before we start the Trash and Blame game?

[tishaLA]

17. I think that exit poll is faulty TBH

I'm sure a large portion of white women voted for tRump, and maybe it was even something approaching 55%, but the percentages among black voters just don't ring true to me and make me doubt its reliability. 8% of black women *did not* vote for tRump nor did almost 20% of black men ( low double digits maybe, but not 18%).

Anyhow, in an election like this year's, and with the unreliability of the other polls, I'm going to hold off on this and pray that the reason Biden increased Sec Clinton's vote margin is because of something more than just white men deserting tRump.

[BComplex]

20. All I can say, Maraya, is that I no longer trust ANY poll. These past 2 presidential

elections have been so totally tampered with by domestic and overseas bad actors, that polling means nothing NOTHING if this country doesn't protect our votes and our elections.

And why not? There is so much MONEY riding on elections. How could anyone think that people would NOT try to interfere, if the money is right? Is our country really that friggin' naive?

That needs to become our FIRST priority. I know so many white women who absolutely hate trump. Registered republican woman, and I know they were excited to vote AGAINST trump.

I say...the polls are messed up for several reasons, but until we secure our elections, polls don't matter, and I'm not even sure if our votes don't matter!!

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Since early 70s, women voted conservative a solid 45% or more due to family, religion, upbringing.

[Binkie The Clown]

24. Ed Wood said it best in Plan Nine: "Stupid humans. Stupid, stupid humans." nt

[uponit7771]

25. This is not an actual exit poll its a prediction

[onetexan]

26. i'm skeptical

[Midnight Writer]

27. So now we are listening to polls again? That was a short divorce.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

30. White women voters have broken for the Democratic presidential candidate only twice since 1952.

[whathehell]

31. No link here, but if true, would still be more often than White men

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. I'm assuming you mean "less often." In any case, it's important to talk about because

it's often accepted that women are "more liberal" than men, and that their sisterhood with all women makes them a force for progress, when we see over and over again that that is simply not the case.

[whathehell]

33. Lol..Nice try.

but, for starters, you need to compare the number of white female and white male Trump voters in 2016. Across the board, women were far more likely to vote Democratic than men.

After that, check out the Million Women March in DC the day after Trump's inaugural.

If you're still confused, compare the respective gender compositions of Democratic and Republican Congress members. You will see MANY more women among the Democrats.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

34. What do you think I'm "trying" to do?

I mean, I'll spell it out: I'm not comparing white women to white men. I'm comparing white women to white women, which shows that more white women vote for Trump than against him. Whiteness is something that's hard to let go of, and BIWOC see this in activist circles when working with white women.

[whathehell]

35. Whatever you're "trying to do", what you HAVE done

is misstate FACTS. When and if you recognize that, we can talk.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

36. What fact have I gotten wrong?

[whathehell]

37. Lol. Do you even remember what your post says?

A reminder:

"In any case, it's important to talk about because it's often accepted that women are "more liberal" than men, and that their sisterhood with all women makes them a force for progress, when we see over and over again that that is simply not the case"
