^ the mysterious constant approval rating hovering around 40% splained right there?

was:

the 33% kookarookoo conservatives that will approve of Vlad the Impaler as long as he/she is not a Democrat or liberal, who have always been in our polls for decades

plus

7% comprised of immigrant people, many Hispanic, who were very happy with their pocketbook situation and didn't find a lot of liberal rhetoric about socialism and such and preferences for certain minority groups over others very enticing

OH I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE?

The real lede is that median Hispanic wealth hit an all time record in 2019 while median white wealth has not fully recovered from the Great Recession.

This is part of why the trajectory of America feels very different to woke college grads than working class minorities. https://t.co/6iv8QDzDDJ

When I was a kid in the 80s, it seemed like Republican culture was all about working hard, believing in Jesus, staying married, going to church...Now, it seems like Republican culture is all about obsessing over conspiracy theories and race war.

What the heck happened, guys???

edit to add top reply because it's fabulous::

Having grown up in a Republican family, and community, a generation earlier, the simplest version of what happened was:
1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Fox News
Theme of both of them: YOU’RE the real victim! LOOK at what “they” are doing to you! It’s all rigged! Be ANGRY. And be AFRAID.

In reply to NYC vote:Trump gained ground

and pack away that old stereotype about Staten Island whites:

And what's even wilder: Staten Island is the only NYC borough that *didn't* swing towards Trump between '16 and '20.

Won't be surprised if our next mayor is a Republican or an Independent.

Fact: New York City swung

Fact: New York City swung towards Trump by 7.6 points between '16 and '20, far more than any state in the nation.

The rest of the state swung against Trump by 5.1 points.

Southwest Airlines on Thursday said it could furlough more than 6,800 employees — about 12% of its staff — because of a "lack of meaningful progress" in cost-cutting negotiations with labor unions.https://t.co/Jts7JTQ86v

The community keeps them

In reply to It’s wonderful to witness

The community keeps them highly focused on violence.

Meanwhile state-by- state figures of women killed by men in 2018 (sure it's up this year)

https://www.statista.com/statistics/327462/women-murdered-by-men-united-...

Around the world it's 6 women killed by men per hour, with over 40% of women suffering physical and/or sexual abuse from partners in the Mideast, 1/3 in North America.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/11/violence-against-women-femicide-c...

I found the list of transgender people killed, but it didn't include circumstances, vs run-ins with the law etc.
