   People, I'm writing a piece on how we still don't understand why people vote for Trump. To do so, I need a ton of links to articles that DO attempt to explain why Trump won. They don't need to be right! I just need a lot of articles. Could you send me any links you encountered recently? I already have these:

     Who is "we"?

     Mainstream media? If so, then yes, "we" don't know why people voted for Trump.🙂🙃

     Is "we" Black people? Then yes, Black people do know why people voted for Trump. Which is how all 3 elections, Black folk like me were able to predict with *stunning accuracy,* who would vote for Trump, and why.

     Which is why all through Trump's 1st term, I was able to accurately predict that no matter what he did, his support would never drop below about 36%.

     We keep pretending that there isn't peer reviewed research that shows what the most likely indicator of Trump support is. Yes, it's racism.

     We keep pretending that "young Black voters are moving to Trump!" when in reality, they moved way left of Biden.

     "We" just don't want to accept how many white folk in the US are OK with fascism, as long as it's pointed at Black people and called racism. Not all. But a big block.
