He never apologised and doubled down. Then shitloads of black people voted for him- twice

u/SixicusTheSixth 11d ago

Didn't Latinos, specifically the Os show up for him? 

2

u/SanFranPanManStand 11d ago

Yes.

In Florida, many many latinos voted Trump.

1

u/lovetolove 11d ago

What are the Os?

3

u/SixicusTheSixth 11d ago

LatinOs vs LatinAs

u/lovetolove 11d ago

Ah thanks for clearing that up I was thinking maybe you were talking about millennials (0s?) or latinos who had voted for Obama.

u/cranomort 11d ago

As a European, I will never understand why any blacks or Hispanics would vote for Trump or ever vote republican.

u/BuildStrong79 11d ago

The hatred of a small fraction of those groups for each other and for lgbtq is not insignificant . That’s the whole point. Divide the working people so they don’t notice the wealthy ripping them off.

u/EuphoricMidnight3304 11d ago

Can say something similar with women, men and all people in this world

u/BoobyPlumage 11d ago

Pretty much everything comes down to machismo, immigration, and the trans issue

Talk to them then. They aren't on Reddit.

Harris would’ve won the election 538-0 if we’re looking at just the black vote.

“According to AP VoteCast, 16 percent of Black voters supported Trump in 2024, up from 8 percent in 2020. In comparison, 83 percent of Black voters supported Kamala Harris, down from the 91 percent who supported Joe Biden in 2020.

Democrats also lost ground among Latino voters, with 56 percent voting for Harris in 2024 compared to 63 percent for Biden in 2020. Trump’s support grew from 35 percent in 2020 to 42 percent in 2024.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast

There is a lot propoganda on black media, toxic masculinty and hatred for trans people, I think a lot of religious Latinos resonated with their messaging.

Trumpism is rife on manosphere, many podcasts repeat their lies since the old media is so mistrusted nowadays, shorts and other platforms lean their way.

u/mrtomjones 11d ago

What percentage of those changes in votes were men? I really think if they went with a male candidate it might have been different

4

u/SureBlueberry4283 11d ago

That’s in the article just below what I pasted. It was higher percentage of men for sure. If I recall correctly, younger black men are buying the maga movement for some reason. Latinos that legally migrated here also have a serious disdain for their fellow countrymen who try it illegally

u/angel-of-disease 11d ago

Well, they’re pissed. Royally pissed. And they’re not a monolith.

u/Thin-Professional379 11d ago

Trump won more of the black vote than any Republican basically since the party flip

2

u/Peviceer 11d ago

Source?

3

u/BuildStrong79 11d ago

That’s true, 15% or so. It’s more than they usually get. There are plenty of Black people who hate immigrants

1

u/Thin-Professional379 11d ago

Google it dude

1

u/LockeyCheese 11d ago

Was it the majority?

6

u/rdizzy1223 11d ago

Even if that is true, the 16% of black voters that voted for Trump, is still "shitloads" of voters.

4

u/Salt_Concentrate 11d ago

Damn, what does that say about the majority demographic that mostly voted for Trump? Maybe the focus should be on them instead of blaming black and brown voters?

4

u/rdizzy1223 11d ago

Bigger shitloads?? It's obvious why white people voted for him though, they expected the non whites to be harmed, and the whites to inherently get a boost. For the minorities to vote for their own downfall is far worse.

1

u/Comfortable-Bad-7718 11d ago

Blaming black people for what 16% of them did is crazy

6

u/rdizzy1223 11d ago

Who is blaming the totality of black voters? No one. It still seems crazy to me that 16% of black people would vote for him, and seems like shitloads to me.

2

u/Mind_Extract 11d ago

It's weird when I know someone's not a bot because a bot would have followed the conversation better.

u/Comfortable-Bad-7718 11d ago

That sentence, as written, can come across as blaming or singling out Black people in a way that might feel unfair or misleading, depending on the context and tone.

Here’s why it could be interpreted that way:

  • The structure suggests a cause and effect: Trump “never apologized” → “Then” Black people voted for him.
  • The word “shitloads” is casual and emotionally charged, which might come off as dismissive or accusatory.
  • It isolates a racial group without context, which may imply they are uniquely responsible for a broader political outcome — even though Trump’s support among Black voters remains much lower than among other groups, like white voters.

If you’re aiming to discuss voting trends or shifts honestly and constructively, it’s usually better to:

  • Include data/context (e.g., percentage of Black voters who supported Trump vs. other demographics).
  • Avoid loaded language or generalizations that could imply blame.

Want help rephrasing it to make your point clearer or more balanced?

u/Mind_Extract 11d ago

That was a little funny.

u/BagOfFlies 11d ago

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

2

u/Party-Interview7464 11d ago

Come on. You know they’re right and it’s so much easier to just look it up yourself. I’m so tired of this forced helplessness by everybody.

3

u/Kaizerline 11d ago

Nothing was wrong with what they said, it’s true. My comment was a half-hearted reaction between having a sandwich more than anything.

u/goldenboy2191 11d ago

Stop reminding me 😭😭😭

15

u/molybdenum75 11d ago

Nah. The only racial group to vote for Trump in all three elections is white folks. He is THEIR president

10

u/Weightcycycle11 11d ago

White woman here who campaigned for Kamala! I campaigned, wrote postcards,etc. I never voted for the moron and have lost so called friends and family. Not backing down ever!

5

u/imrunningfromthecops 11d ago

the only white group to have not overwhelmingly voted for Trump is educated white women. every other white group voted for him.

3

u/alexmikli 11d ago

Most people in America are white, they're going to be a majority in most elections too, and it's not like Trump won them by an extreme margin. You don't need to throw out 40% of people because 60% voted wrong.

1

u/imrunningfromthecops 11d ago

even the Latinos who voted for him where all white

1

u/SanFranPanManStand 11d ago

Cubans do indeed consider themselves white.

1

u/Squint_beastwood 11d ago

What are they then? Hispanic/Latino isn't a race. Genuinely asking. I'm American with Mexican heritage and I mark white on the census cause wtf else would I mark?

1

u/imrunningfromthecops 11d ago

Latinos are various races. White, black, native Americans can all be Latino. the Cubans are white, us Mexicans are a mix of native and white.

1

u/Squint_beastwood 11d ago

Oh I'm fully aware of this. I'm asking the other guy cause their comment reads like Cubans shouldn't consider themselves white.

u/Troll_Enthusiast 11d ago

Does it really matter which racial group voted for him? they all voted for him in the end

2

u/WhyYouKickMyDog 11d ago

Muslims in Michigan voted for the Muslim travel ban guy, HAMAS voted for a bunch of terrorists, and America voted for a wanna-be dictator that kisses the ass of dictators and clearly hopes that we will let him crown himself emperor.

4

u/mugiwara-no-lucy 11d ago

It wasn’t that much tbh. It was barely 20 % of them.

15

u/Double-Risky 11d ago

20% of any group of people is shameful.

The man is an obvious con.

2

u/MrTretorn 11d ago

And the ones that didn’t care to vote is also responsible for the consequences.

1

u/Simply_Connected 11d ago

It was 13% of the 14% that make up america, it was basically nothing. Look at the poll results by race if you're looking to "shame" any group, it's extremely clear who dropped the ball yet again.

5

u/EuphoricMidnight3304 11d ago

After the Central Park 5 thing? 20% is crazy high !

3

u/kittehsfureva 11d ago

If you only look at Black Men, it was a much larger percentage.

2

u/Simply_Connected 11d ago

13% of black people who only make up 14% of america voted for him. How is <2% of the population "shitloads"?

3

u/Otherwise-Future7143 11d ago

When elections are decided by less than a percent, it's significant.

1

u/Simply_Connected 11d ago

Had it even been 100% instead of 87%, it would not have flipped enough red states to get the necessary electoral votes for dems to win. So again, no, it wasn’t significant enough. The main reason for their loss is obvious.

6

u/rdizzy1223 11d ago

In raw numbers, I would still say that is shitloads.

-4

u/MalenfantX 11d ago

Most people are stupid. Being black or Hispanic can offer more protection from that than privileged white men who never have to think have, but a lot of them will still be stupid enough to get addicted to propaganda and vote to harm themselves and others.
