Describe a Kerry/Obama/Hillary/Trump voter

[Motorcity]

This is a tough one!

Maybe an African-American man who lived a hard life but finally got a good paying job in the economic boom?

Or a South Floridian

[It's Time.]

conservative Hispanic in South Texas who owns a small business and is a "low propensity voter" who doesn't vote in midterms.

edit: Just realized that someone who never voted before could not have voted for Kerry/Obama/Hillary

conservative Hispanic in South Texas who owns a small business and never voted before.

But than they wouldn’t be a Kerry/Obama/Hillary voter

[Bootes Void]

Probably alot of  conservative leaning black/Latino voters

There is some WWC voters who migh be as well that haven't ditched the Democrats already( think people in Ohio, Appalachia, southern Midwest etc)

[walleye26]

Hispanics in the RGV, and a small number of Appalachian yellow dogs who stuck with Hillary but finally caved in 2020 for Trump. Southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky Trump really still grew his margins.

Merry did worse than Biden with Hispanics though...

[JGibson]

A lifelong Democratic small business owner angry over COVID restrictions impacting their bottom line.

There are probably a decent number of these voters in cities/heavily urban areas that saw mild swings to Trump.

[seeking mystical annihilation]

Ancestrally D, Mexican-American family farm owner in the Central Valley or Imperial Valley whose UFW loyalties were overcome by pandemic stresses?

Not in the RGV he didn’t.

I just realized I wrote “Merry” lol.

Anyway, actually he did: Kerry won the RGV 53.8-45.8. Biden won it 57.6-41.6. In other words he did 8 points better or twice as well. It’s not even close.

Yes, Trump flipped Zapata County, but that’s not the whole region. I really have to wonder if everyone acting like Biden’s performance with Hispanics was somehow unprecedentedly bad just forgot about the Bush years. He did bad compared to Obama and Hillary, yes. But he fell squarely in between Gore and Kerry, so in some ways this could be seen as a reversion to the norm. Perhaps Hispanic voters in the RGV don’t like white male Democrats as much for some reason?

Starr County, TX

[Crumpets]

Someone who got Tulsi pilled since 2016 and then followed the Glenn Greenwald/Michael Tracy path after she dropped out. They might be won back over with a Yang candidacy.

Elliott County best exemplifies this. Trump won it 75.0-23.8% in 2020, whereas he had carried it 70.1-25.9% in 2016. This was in spite of the belief by some that Biden would do marginally better there than Clinton. Elliott County, of course, never voted Republican before 2016; both Kerry in 2004 and Obama in 2008 won over 60% of the vote there, and Obama held it by a narrow plurality against Romney in 2012.

An Hispanic voter convinced to vote Trump because of law and order.
