White men overwhelmingly for Trump.
White people are the problem. What is wrong with us?
Still it is of concern and worth noting that Republicans made big inroads in Black men and Hispanics, especially Hispanic men (who did vote slightly more for Trump)
This is particularly disturbing since Republicans have had overt policies to harm people of color since Nixon (or earlier)
I don't excuse White people voting for racism, but you can at least understand that there are some selfish White people voting for policies that they perceive to favor them. It's harder to understand people of color voting for that same racism.
That is the point of the OP: People voted against Democrats not because we didn't support minorities but because we didn't support minorities enough. Kind of like the Muslims who voted against Harris on Gaza. Most Muslims voted Democratic, but it's understandable that we are frustrated with the subset of them who made their point by voting for Trump.
Maybe there are better ways to get results from the Democratic Party, and easier done while we are in power.
