I guess we'll see who's right on election day, but I'd like to add that it's equally (if not more) off-putting when overwhelmingly white communities decide without concrete evidence that minorities are suddenly more supportive of and accepting of Trump's white supremacist platform.

This got 38 recommends. The original post which was accurate got 3 (before the election). Suggesting that minorities are becoming 'supportive' and 'accepting' of white supremacy is not only distasteful, it's a really good way to make sure those Trump-voting Hispanics never vote Democrat again!

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like this campaign was a LOT LESS about immigration than the last one?

In 2016 we had the "Mexicans are rapists", "judge is a Mexican" BUILD THE WALL, etc. This time around it was obviously there a bit but I feel like Trump spent a lot less time attacking Hispanics as a group. That in itself could explain some of the shift.

Yeah, there was very little immigration focus. It was an economy/covid election, Trump didn't have the same outlandish statements he did in 2016.
