Folks are surprised that Brittany Mahomes (wife of Black NFL QB Patrick Mahomes, mother of 2 Black kids) is a Trump supporter?

Folks are surprised that Brittany Mahomes (wife of Black NFL QB Patrick Mahomes, mother of 2 Black kids) is a Trump supporter? I don't get that. Most white women vote for Trump. Brittany isn't an anomaly. She's the common case.
More white women voted for Trump than Hilary in 2016. More white women voted for Trump than Biden in 2020. More white women will vote for Trump than future president Kamala Harris in 2024. Stop being surprised by this.
Who she votes for doesn't matter. Turnout matters.

@mekkaokereke Thanks for the false stereotype.

TBH, I don't see much of a difference between Brittany Mahomes having Black kids and being a Trump supporter, and Stacey Dash or Candace Owens having Black kids and being a Trump supporter.️
For me, the effort to try to convince them not to support Trump is not worth it, but if that makes you happy, go for it.
I'd rather focus my attention on the vast majority of parents of Black kids that do understand what a second Trump term would mean for their kids.
Elections don't have to be unanimous.

@AJFish In 2020; 57% of white men who voted for POTUS voted for Trump. So did 53% of white women who voted for POTUS: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/06/30/behind-bidens-2020-victory/

"More white women will vote for Trump"
If you want to freeze people in time with stereotypes that says you're a sad person.

️ This happens every election. White women come into my mentions completely convinced that this time it's going to be different. And I always do the same thing: ask you to come back to this post after the election and reply. They never do. Never.
Do you think I want to be right about this every election? I want to be wrong! I want it so badly!
But every election I am disappointed with how predictable this is.
So do this: check back here after November, and reply.

If I say "More Black people will vote for the Democratic nominee then the GOP nominee," no one gets mad and says "No fair! That's stereotyping!" They just acknowledge that this has been a fact for the past 80 years. ️
But if I say "More white women will vote for Trump in the upcoming election," people get in their feelings. Even though that statement is equally true.
Don't get mad at me because I said it. Get mad because it's true.

@mekkaokereke White women have been running away from Trump in droves since the Dobbs decision. #project2025 has them running away even faster. Now we have a woman running for President.
All the polls show a gender gap of historic proportions.
There may be a lot of racist white women, but even they don't want to be breeding stock.
I don't think they will all go running back to Trump.

Sorry, but everything you just said is wishful thinking, not supported by facts. Which poll shows that a majority of white women will vote for Harris?
And you conflate "women" with "white women."
"Women" have always voted against Trump. "White women" have always voted for Trump.
"White women are running away from Trump now that:
* He said grab em by the p****
* He's made it clear he will end Roe v Wade
* He's been convicted of assault"Etc. But the result doesn't change.

More white women voted for trump
This is true.
Turnout matters.
This is also true.
Most white women vote for trump
This is debatable. Of white women who vote, yes, more voted for trump. However, there were a lot of white women who didn't vote at all, and it's difficult to say who they would have voted for if voting were mandatory.
Of course, I'm just splitting hairs. The important thing is that turnout matters. Because a scary number of white women vote for monsters.

I was very specific here:
"More white women voted for Trump than Hilary in 2016. More white women voted for Trump than Biden in 2020."
This part is not debatable. There are no hairs to split.

@mekkaokereke @Legit_Spaghetti Agreed on all points so far.
The next layer of granularity is to divide white women into Evangelicals/Other.
Hypothesizing that there's a lot of correlation there.
-
@DoesntExist @mekkaokereke @Legit_Spaghetti I don't think the numbers can add up, unless you're lumping Black Protestants and White Protestants together.
I don't think there are enough White Evangelicals alone to create a majority of White voters, not without significant support among White Protestant and White Catholic voters.
Don't forget, that granulatity would also filter out Jews, atheists, agnostics, and "nones". That right there is most of the White Democratic vote.

@UncivilServant @mekkaokereke @Legit_Spaghetti
I have yet to meet a well-off white woman atheist, agnostic, or Jew who supports Trump, and I know at least a dozen.
I'm not looking to get numbers to "add-up." I'm looking for a bit more subtlety than "white women."
My question is, "which white women." My first break down of that is Evangelicals.

Only 21% of white women who voted are evangelicals. But over 50% of white women who voted, voted for Trump.
It's more than just evangelicals.
And there are over 110 million white women in the US. That's... a lot. You could personally know 10 million white women on a first name basis, and still not get a good feel for how they vote as a group.
