Thoughts this morning ~
Is it better to live in a red zone of a blue state? Or a blue zone in a red state?
@Anouk I am a blue dot in a red state, and I need to escape. I want to move to California.
@Astartiel @Anouk
My s. Colorado county voted 56% for trumP in 2020.
61% this year.
@zenmudprod @Astartiel @Anouk
The current estimate I have seen is 64.5 % of eligible voters voted. That means about 87m did not vote. The % is down from 2020 estimate of 67%.
All this means a lot of people did not see this election to be as important as I did.
@pkatlga23 @zenmudprod @Astartiel @Anouk and a lot of them were Dems
@GinaE1973 @pkatlga23 @zenmudprod @Anouk And it makes no sense that so many millions of Democrats would choose to not vote for Harris, considering they knew Trumpf was running again.
@Astartiel @pkatlga23 @zenmudprod @Anouk let’s talk about apathy…distraction…programming… what are those electronics doing to peoples minds?
@GinaE1973 @Astartiel @pkatlga23 @Anouk
Or is it pure racism?
I remember scathing 2016 attacks, because:
"12 percent of Sanders supporters voted for trumP!"
So I "did my own research" and found that in 2008:
"22% of HRC voters voted for McCain!"
=====
Tuesday?
Some 28% of white women, and 24(?)% of white men voted for Harris.
There's still a poison in this country, of "fearing those who don't look like me" (imo).
@zenmudprod @GinaE1973 @Astartiel @Anouk
It is many factors from what I hear from Trump voters.
The economy, inflation, need for a strong leader, and of course racism/misogyny even when they don't think they are either.
But mostly I fear it is the willingness to believe lies they want to believe, and this is the hardest to counteract.
@Astartiel @pkatlga23 @zenmudprod @Anouk petty? They didn’t like the way she became the candidate?
