Why do people of color vote for Trump? [View all]

After reading many articles, and pondering on how to answer this question, I've come to my conclusion:

Misogyny.

It's also why a lot of white people vote for him as well.

(yes, please usual disclaimer NOT ALL)

Latinos, Muslims, some aspects of black male culture are all heavily machismo (in different ways).
They don't want women in positions of power (same as white men).

Anyway, that's where I've landed.

It's all fear of women being equal or in charge.

Prove me wrong!

Also, I am NOT excusing women from this. Women can also be misogynists. Viciously so.
