White millenials voted for Trump 48% to 42%
White women voted for Trump 53% to 43%
White college graduates voted for Trump 49% to 45%The problem isn’t babyboomers, men or ignorance. The problem is white supremacy.
The problem with this post is that it’s comparing whites to whites. Not blacks to blacks or blacks to whites. This is complete bull shit sorry
Black men voted Hillary 82% to 13%
Black women voted Hillary 94% to 4%Latino men voted Hillary 63% to 32%
Latino women voted Hillary 69% to 25%Black millenials voted Hillary 85% to 9%
Latinos millenials voted Hillary 68% to 26%Non-whites college graduates voted Hillary 72% to 22%
All of these are from the same exit poll I used for my original post: http://edition.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president
It is hard to find a single white demographic that did not come up with a Trump majority (white college graduated women some up with a 51% for Hillary, a small margin indeed) and there is not a single non-white demographic that came up with a Trump majority or came anywhere near it.
I encourage you to look through those exit poll results for yourself. CNN has extensive and well-researched exit polls and the difference in the numbers is far too big to be explained away by a margin of error.
Statistically the strongest defining feature of the Trump supporter is whiteness.
Does this mean the majority of white people actively hate people of color and voted for Trump because they wanted a racist in charge? No. That’s not how white supremacy works.
What it does mean it that, as a result of white supremacy, a LOT of white people who consider themselves ‘not racist’, ignored Trump’s racism and voted for him anyway. A lot of white people did not care about people of color enough to not vote for Trump.
That’s white surpemacy’s biggest feature: apathy to the point of allowing people to die because you can’t be bothered to keep them safe.
Click that source link, it’s awesome.
I looked through the data. Short answer, white voters went Trump, 57% to 37%. Everyone else went Clinton, 74% to 21%. Age, education, and gender were factors, but not nearly that big. Same with income, and to my surprise the income bracket where Trump had the advantage was the middle class, not the rich.
These stats definitely support op’s conclusion that voting Trump was most strongly correlated with whiteness (unless you count the ideological and issue questions, which present obvious chicken-and-egg problems.) But it’s worth mentioning that religion came a close second in importance: Protestants voted Trump 56% to 39%, Catholics went narrowly for Trump 50%-46%, Jews voted Clinton 71% to 23%, and “Nones” and “Others” went for Clinton by lesser but still large margins (67-25% and 62-29% respectively).
Basically, everything op said holds nearly as well if you replace “white” with “Christian.”
Great addition, thanks.
