| | | The Australian piece is a must read.
It states that exit polls suggest there were significant shifts of black and Latino voters to Trump, with 18 per cent of black men voting for Trump, who was relentlessly tagged as a white supremacist.
The Australian also notes that according to AP, 35 per cent of Latinos voted for Trump. And a huge 59 per cent of Native Hawaiians and 52 per cent of Native Americans and Alaska Natives opted for Trump. They also didn’t get the message that Trump is a racist.
I hope Bill doesn’t mind a short quote from the article:
>>>>>Trump has lost. But so has the anti-Trump establishment. In some ways, the establishment’s loss is far more significant. These elites see in the 70 million people who disobediently, flagrantly voted for “evil”, and who question the doom and divisiveness and censure of the new elites, a genuine mass threat to their right to rule and their self-serving ideologies. And they are right to. For these unconquerables, these teeming millions who have not been captured by the new orthodoxies, are proof that populism will survive Trump’s fall and that the self-protecting narratives of the new elites are not accepted by huge numbers of ordinary people.
This is the real resistance. Not the upper-middle-class TikTok revolutionaries and Antifa fantasists whose every view — on trans issues, Black Lives Matter, the wickedness of Trump — corresponds precisely with the outlook of Google and Nike and the New York Times. No, the resistance is these working people. These defiant Hispanics. Those black men who did what black men are not supposed to do. Those non-college whites who think college ideologies are crazy. These people are the ones who have the balls and the independence of mind to force a serious rethink and realignment of the political sphere in the 21st-century West. More power to them.<<<< |
