are the biggest problem when it comes to both misogyny and voting for Trump.

My question in this thread, that's been distressing me since the election, is why so many people of color voted for Trump in 2024.

Of course, white people are going to vote for white supremacy in large numbers. That's just the racism that still exists. Many white men did NOT vote for Trump, but the majority of them did. 60%
White women did too: 53%

But, contrasting that with Black men and women
24% of Black men voted for Trump while only 7% of Black women did.
That's a huge gender difference.

But, the statistic that really blows me away is Hispanic men
50% voted for Trump!
That statistic was just astounding to me.

I've been trying to understand why these folks voted for a racist, when his racism was so very apparent.
My conclusion was that they hate women (and gay people) more than their concerns about racism?
