This just shows you don't know who to read data and are being purposefully provocative to stir $hit.

The "typical" white-identifying person in Moco actually voted for Biden. Because, numbers.

> 1 in 4 white people in Montgomery county voted for Trump.

True more voted for Biden ... but if you want to know who voted from trump it’s your typical white person, 1 in 4 you pass on the street voted for Trump.

Me!! I voted for Trump for the economy and lower taxes. We aren’t in the administration. 20854. We work really hard for the money we’ve made. We are Catholic but I am personally pro life but I believe the law should be pro choice. I’m not racist. We give a lot to charity. I think Trump lost. And I’ll get behind Biden.

Those who support DT always say that. Standing by one, makes you one.

Most at Catholic and send their kids to Catholic schools. Some are evangelical. All are white, upper middle class. Some are military, but 1/2 my military friends hate Trump.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about Catholics and politics. Data from Gallup and the National Election Studies show that Catholics were more likely to vote for Hillary in 2016 and Obama both times. The percentage is probably smaller for churchgoing Catholics though.

Sadly abortion has become a single issue of focus for some Catholics that has been hijacked by Republicans who take an anti-Catholic view on every other human issue, from racism to poverty. It makes no logical sense for a Catholic to vote for Trump who promotes a culture of immorality.

Obviously, Catholics are not getting that message.

This is your typical voter who doesn’t understand the economy was not better under Trump and that lost people has their taxes go up.

They also don’t know that Trump defunded every pro life program that reduces abortions. If you say that they say “I don’t know anything about that”.

They also think they “work hard”, like brick layer hard... it’s pathetic.

I’m the PP poster who is friends with these people.

This is the exact response I get like they are reading off a cue card.

They say they are ”pro life” but they aren’t since Trump killed a bunch of people with the federal death penalty. You say that to them and then they say, “I don’t know anything about that”.

Their head is in the sand. It’s a bit pathetic.

No. Biden split the Catholic vote and Hilary only got 45%.

It’s pathetic any Catholic let alone 50% voted for somebody who kills people and puts kids in cages, makes fun of the disabled. Etc.

We know there are some assholes in MoCo. Why is this a surprise?

Why? Because of a few examples of someone's friends who are extremists? The exit polls this year showed a similar pattern--with a slight edge for Biden among Catholics. Catholics really have not voted differently in recent elections than the rest of the country. That's what the data show.

There are a lot of single-issue voters out there. That's a big part of it. Immigration, abortion, gun control, etc.

Last time around my precinct in Takoma Park went 92% for Hillary, and there were about 40 people who voted for Trump. It left me wondering who these 40-odd TKPK Trumpers were hiding out.

There is a house with a Trump sign I see in 20854 when I go for my walks. Maybe that's you?

The only people who don't work hard for the money are people who are born into wealth, like the Trump family.

The rest of us work hard for our money, including the essential workers who only get paid minimum wage.

With the limit of the SALT deduction I would imagine many in 20854 saw their taxes go up a bit. I know my friend in NJ saw their taxes go up, and they only make $140k, which for 20854, is below the median income.

You give a lot to charity <> you are not racist. For all we know, you could be giving to a catholic church who only donates to pro-birther groups.

But you remain friends with them. This makes you as complicit as the person you are criticizing.

Robin Fickr gets a few votes. Those are probably same people who go for Trmp.
