The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My previous post was initially much longer but I thought shorter was better. But since banksy was swift enough to post numbers I'll refer to some numbers left out last time.......

Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)


Two things very salient to American elections suspiciously either "disappeared" since they were noticed or never mentioned because it upsets a common Left Wing narrative. To wit:

1) White People are here to stay. They ain't goin' anywhere. Deal with it. You need their votes.

2) If I am not mistaken Trump got more support/votes from females, Blacks, and Hispanics in 2024 and, I believe in 2020 also, than he got in 2016. I have heard this mentioned several times but never challenged. I know some of this depends on who's doing the research but that won't account for very much difference. No idea what the Gay and transgendered trend is. So, as Banksy might be implying Maga is getting, I guess, what we might call the uneducated vote I don't see how any Democrat is going to make that up by getting the residual educated vote among Blacks Hispanics, Gays, Transgendered and Women, especially when that "Educated Men" stat above is the razor's edge and could go the other way on a dime.

I have no grandiose point other than the trend is not all that hopeful for Democrats.
