Comment on Its a lot easier these looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy know there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism.

  Just a thought. It’s true for me. Just going plain statistics. The fact that Trump is still in this race has left a disgusting taste in my mouth that concerns about 1/3 the population.

    I don’t think Trump and his ilk are known for being attractive

      Plain statistic. For every ugly MF there should be some privileged idiot with every advantage. 100 million people. Think about it.

        You should delete this post fam. You have some personal issues you’re projecting on strangers. Probably not very healthy in the long run and seeking validation from us retards on Lemmy most certainly won’t help you in any form.

        You can’t just say the word “Statistics” in an argument without actually citing a study. It’s not some magic Win Argument button.

    Just going plain statistics

    And completely ignoring demographics.

    First, a lot of people didn’t vote, period.

    Second, support differs drastically by state. Let’s pretend we’re in 2020, right after the election. Are you in California? If so, a randomly chosen eligible voter has an 88% of having registered to vote. And a registered voter had an 81% chance of having voted. So 29% of people didn’t even vote. If they voted, they had a 34% chance of having voted for Trump. So that’s already reduced the overall chance that an eligible voter voted for Trump to 24%. But if they were younger than 30, that drops from 34% to 25% (overall: 18%). (Under 40? 29% (21%).) Or if they’re Black, Latino, or Asian? 21% (15%).

    So if a 20-something Latino caught your eye, then there’s only a 17% chance he, she, or they voted for Trump. (And if you use different pronouns, there’s very little chance you voted for Trump.)

    On the other hand, if you’re only into older white people (50+) who’ve been doing better while Trump was president, and you hold that not voting or voting third party is the same as voting for Trump (only a Sith deals in absolutes) then there’s a 61% chance he or she voted for Trump.

    At least, I think that’s how those probabilities get combined.

      I’m not sure not voting is much better, tho.
