Did you look at exit polls? Trump got the most black voters of a Republican candidate since the 1950s. And he was out and proud with his racism, right down to the point of saying he “did more for the blacks than any president since Lincoln” and his absolute hatred during the height of the BLM movement. Republicans also did well with Latino voters and minorities across the board.
Working class voters are moving back to the Republican party, something that should scare the fuck out of the left, since they are winning over the working class. It proves that all the ID-POL stuff that liberals and half of the left here obsess with, are not working cause it’s all bullshit. People are resonating more with their income level and voting based on that.
All Tom Cotton has to do is start talking about the wealth inequality and say he is going to fix it, and it won’t matter with his charisma. That will be enough to do something, cause we’re looking at another far right reactionary movement as a result of Biden’s austerity and the great depression we’re in.
