God, the whole of Lemmy is such a meme right now; the majority of women voted Trump as well!

Lmao!...

The majority of White women voted for him 53% to 45% (not sure what percent of those are in the evangelical christian demographic).

Women overall voted against him 53% to 45%. Funny how those numbers were the exact opposite. Anyway it was a smaller margin than Dems were hoping/expecting from women.

no, 20 million Americans withheld their votes.

that greasy orange fuck actually lost votes.

2020 had some of the easiest voting rules in US history, with universal no excuse mail in.

Democrats were more likely to mail in votes than Republicans. So (largely Republican) states cracked down on mail in voting shortly after the election.

The participation plunge you're seeing is largely the result of that decision

That seems bang on average for the entire country. If anything that suggests to me that men in that age group are less susceptible to trumps influence since other age ranges of men were in the 60s and 70s

Wish this would be adjusted for age. Obviously someone who had more time to accumulate wealth will have more wealth. The real question is how much wealth does each generation have at the same age.

Well that shows a 47-49 split instead of the 42-53 split originally posted for 18-29 men.

Two points vs 11 points. Exit polls are still just polls, prone to some hefty ranges.

I mean, it sounds to me like men also chose the bear. Why did they choose the bear, is it because they're stupid? Probably not, they likely just thought their odds were better with the bear.

Dropping the metaphor, and looking in the cold light of day, those young men saw a better future under Trumpler than Harris. Articles signaled this well before, and nothing was done to address it.

Will their future be better - probably not. Can they be made to think their future is better, that's a tough one. Remember, you can trick one group of people into thinking they have more rights by stripping the rights of those around them.

Well, there's still 42% who voted for Harris. What's wrong with them?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (68 children)

Nothing is wrong with them, but I get not wanting to gamble with thos odds.

Especially when, according to the national park service, "when bear encounters do happen, they are most often nonviolent". So if you had to gamble...

That is women literally choosing the bear (by not voting or who voted Trump, same thing).

If no woman will consent to a guy like that, he’ll just vote for the candidate who promises to abolish consent

2020 election.

Its cultural, men are more likely to be Republicans. One day this will change

I love how so many men in the comments are butt hurt by this comparison. Almost as if it hit the nail right on the head.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 week ago (9 children)

You are aware that 52% of white women voted for trump and that he won the popular vote by nearly 5 million votes (72,656,451 for trump, 67,978,280 for Harris) between both that is 140,634,731 votes. So 1% would be 1406347.31. so trump won by about 3% popular vote.

Blaming specifically men and exclusively, is what pisses them off.

America is sexist and racist.

I am both disappointed and not surprised that half of young men voted for him

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 50 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Half of everybody voted for him. This is such a ridiculous post, those are barely off the numbers for the whole election. Which is ridiculous, but why single out this group?

Gotta be pissed off at someone, I suppose. Some blame leftists, some blame Latinos, some blame men.

If there isn't a movie yet where a woman meets a strange man in the middle of the woods and he starts acting creepy and she gets scared, then she sees a bear and decides to chance it with the bear... and then the bear runs past her and mauls the creepy guy-

Well there should be.
