It's like you and I are reading from the same book! - If I just go off what I see online, most of the loudest anti-trans voices, and most of the racists, I'm more or less convinced have never met or gotten to know any trans people or any black people. It's a certain amount of willful ignorance on their part.

Income is one of the weakest predictors of which way you voted. Race and religion are far stronger.

That's incorrect. Gender was a larger predictor in the last election (and then married status, interestingly enough). Trump gained in both black and latino voter share. https://apnews.com/article/election-harris-trump-women-latin...

No, it is correct.

Here are CNN's exit polls: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/exit-polls/national-result...

The largest split in any income group is 52-46, nearly even. The largest split by gender is only 55-43.

By contrast, Blacks are 13-86. White Protestants are 72-26. White Jews are 20-79. White nones are 28-71.

I don't think it's plausible, on the face of it, that the party would risk transparently directing the full force of its campaign message to an insignificant fringe. Maybe they know the composition of their voting base better than we, who are inclined to only see the best in people, do.
