Oh, no. They will be hurt the same as everyone else but The Donald will just tell them that it's the Democrats/immigrants/gay people's/critical race theory's fault and they will believe him because having someone else to blame for their problems is a lot easier than fixing their problems.
No, straight cis white men will get hurt economically and through living in a degraded society, but they will not be forced to carry pregnancies, or be murdered because of their race or their sexual orientation.
And they know that. As long as he hurts those others even more they're fine with what he does to them.
Clearly not only cis white men voted for him though. And those people are definitely going to be hurt, and I'm sorry to say but they will fucking deserve it.
Surely the polarisation of politics, in part due to painting cis white men as colonising evil bastards at every opportunity, has nothing to do with the current state of politics.
Yeah, the demographics of voters are just made up, huh? They are the overwhelming supporters of the far right. Don't wanna be painted like that? Don't vote for fascists.
I'm a cis white guy too, for the record, and I'm not saying it's something inherent in skin colour or having a penis that makes someone an asshole. But it's classic bully behaviour to tell people lower on the hierarchy "look what you made me do". You want things to be less divided then you should start by accepting the simple facts.
No the demographics of voters are very real and the Kamala campaign spent virtually no time convincing cis white males that their lives would be better under Kamala.
Virtually everyone votes out of self interest. Trying to convince people to vote out of altruism while they perceive they will be losing out isn’t going to work.
There’s already an article stating Trump did better than expected with almost every demographic. It’s not just white men
If someone "perceives they are losing out" because of doing something positive for women or minorities then that says a lot about their worldview, they are the ones responsible for polarisation there.
Agreed on the campaign though, it was the dems' to lose and they royally fucked it up.
They perceive they are losing out because of the economy. Look at the places that vote red; they have all lost manufacturing and gone backwards in standard of living.
