i can imagine the protests scared a bunch of rubes.
If ur in a poor community i can imagine "becoming a cop" might be a solution to you, i mean i hear that reason a lot from minority law enforcement.
Also like, between warehouse worker, fast food, cable guy, construction, maybe COP might be more respectable and "worth" doing iunno
why not
Never heard of the black aspiring/actual cops voting block. How many black people are cops in this country?
I dont think its a voting bloc i think its just a conclusion that a lot of people with very similar life experience and interest made.
If you go to a city or places with high black and hispanic population, youll find lots of black and hispanic cops.
Also for real with that question?
Yeah. It’s not enough for it to be a whole voting bloc. This is an odd take. A majority of black people want major reforms to police not more of them. This screams of Biden claiming black people want all these people in jail when they wrote the crime bill.
im just trying to reconcile personal experience with various minorities voting for Trump against the pervailing wisdom.
Im saying that while what youre saying is true. I think people can acknolwedge that but I also think when you threaten peoples own class interest, cops who are minorities, they and their families can buck back and atleast vote reactionary
It's easy, your personal experience wasn't representative of what's happening. You don't have to draw generalizations from an individual experience. In fact, that's a bad thing to do when you're trying to understand the world.
the other explanation by itself doesnt do enough for me though.
Why would people choiced to vote between bland and racist choose racist? Why wouldnt they just not vote
It doesn't have to do anything for you though. The universe doesn't care what does it for you. Some people view voting as a duty, and abstaining is bad.
I mean yes but if so, saying that Biden is boring and neoliberal cant just be the default answer like it seems to be around here
Its just the popular one here bc were lefties
Yeah not saying that’s not a factor, but there’s other overarching issues that explain why marginalized people switched. Including Trump spreading tons of propaganda that he’s interested in providing better material conditions to them and their families. i.e. giving money to HBCUs, the platinum plan, and commuted a few people’s prison sentences.
