So, what, you think the bigots sat out 2020, and came back in 2024? The bigots were always there. But Trump didn’t find MORE bigots in that 4 year period. The bigots are why it was close a race at all, and the tech billionaire is what put him over the top.

Yes. His opponent in 2020 was a white man, and in 2024 it was a black woman. Welcome to how bigotry works.

Racism. It's racism, not bigotry. It's also sexism, but my fellow white people aren't ready to deal with *that particular problem* yet apparently. 😑

Fair enough, I use the word bigotry because I do think lgbt phobia is in the mix too, not to mention xenophobia.

While the sentiment boils down to bigotry, racism being front and center is important to that argument. Since racism feeds classism and sexism, it's well past time for white people to acknowledge that fact.

And it's the sexism that stems the most bullshit takes on Trans people and LGBTQIA+ as a whole. The "bathroom and sports" crap is smokescreen for sexism. And scratch a sexist, find a racist

Why is this very simple fact so very difficult to grasp for some. 😳

Because it’s a large part of the story, but not the WHOLE story. To claim that is was only about racism assumes some of those racists must have voted for Biden in 2020. They still existed then, they were still Trump supporters then, and you just seem to think their votes mattered more in 2024.

Yes sweetheart, some of those racists did vote for a cishetero white male. My head hurts.
