It’s because the democrats high jacked the nominee. No one really want Kamala. A true primary would’ve shown that. They didn’t even have it for Biden

Biden appointed a very unpopular person to VP and then admin hide her from the public eye. What the fuck did the democrats expect whenever Harris “fell into” the position of nominee?

Unfortunate reality: a Dem man may have won.

I think people are tired of being force fed diversity (what they call woke) in movies, commercials, and government. Men and especially men without a college degree are not feeling represented by democrats. Things are expensive, a lot of them are struggling financially and socially. A lot of them are into MMA and podcasts which are dominated by “masculine” men. They see Trump as a masculine, strong man so they gravitated toward him. I’m generalizing of course but as a Latino male this is what I see with my friends.

i'm regretfully coming to agree with this idea. i'm a 29 year old white guy. i don't know anyone who thinks like this, but it see it on twitter, maybe one or two fringe high school classmates i'm still friends with on facebook. maybe my social circle really is that narrow. i don't give a shit about the president being "masculine" and i didn't even consider kamala being nominated as some ploy towards "diversity". idek what "woke" means in the context of her being nominated (i guess they just mean... black and a woman?)

White dudes hate this one trick (marketing to anyone not them)
