It’s hard to tell which side you’re talking about here. People do seem to hate their family when they disagree with them.

The pt being for this thread, it’s not about Trump. It’s about getting away from the current regime. And that what the American people voted for.

That was my point…even in red states, the cities are all blue.

Blue areas also tend to be the healthiest and most well educated. There is a reason for the correlation between lower educational achievement and supporting Trump. And no I’m not just making this up, there is actual demographic support for this.

Trump serves up idiot-appealing sound bites for the people who will repeat “state’s rights!” while having no idea what the 10th amendment actually is. Then they’ll claim they can’t get ahead in life because of “DEI hires” ignoring the fact they just can’t compete once no longer placed on a pedestal (and boy are they pissed about it).

I think it is interesting that you make data - driven claims on your first point (voter educational attainment, and you’re right), but then do the opposite on your second point. Have you ever seen data on work or educational qualifications by ethnicity? Companies with DEI plans generally have to throw meritocracy out the window to hit hiring and promotion goals.

Now who is ignoring data? Studies generally show that DEI initiatives are associated with improvements in company performance, and that more people like them than not. Except that republicans tend not to like them, but that’s not data-driven.

I can't have T supporters over my house with my sister who is a sexual assault survivor. You literally voted for a rapist over a woman. How can women feel safe over someone who not only likes a rapist but would make them president. You can't be trusted to make good decisions.
