Who won the "Karen" vote?

[Ron DeSantis enthusiast]

Who won the middle age white woman "call the manager" vote?

I've think Trump won it but not by a large margin, lean R at best.

[ChiefFireWaterMike]

The thing is a lot of these women are #resistance wine mom's, so I feel like they went dem.

[H. Ross Peron]

Trump won it narrowly, but Democrats did far better with them than in previous elections. They probably went something like 2 to 1 for Bush in 2004 for example.

[BudgieForce]

Wasn't there a NYTs/Siena breakdown and Karen was the most common female name for a democrat?

I'm gonna say democrats won them.

[If my soul was made of stone]

The remarkably flat distribution of poll responses goes to show that "Karen" really has lost all meaning and just become "woman I dislike"

Literal Karens voted Democratic, but that’s distinct from the “Karen” stereotype/meme.

This is probably the first time ever I see the word "shrew" used unironically in the 21st century (and not in the animal sense)... as someone whose username is taken from the comedy The Taming Of The Shrew, I tip my hat.

My friend and I started using it after we had to read that for 11th grade Honors English class. It's a nicer word than some of the alternatives.

Probably Biden very narrowly.

[Mr. Morden]

Aren't the Karen people mostly in Burma and Thailand?  I assume there aren't enough of them in the American electorate to matter one way or the other.

[Lord Halifax]

Aren't the Karen people mostly in Burma and Thailand?  I assume there aren't enough of them in the American electorate to matter one way or the other.

More than 90% are Christians with Baptists and Seventh-day Adventists being the big groups and they're very devout and the church is the focus point of their communities (even Karen Buddhists go to church at times for that reason), so I guess they normally vote Republican. Generally the Burmese community in the US is very socially and culturally conservative and dominated by refugees from various traditional and devout religious minorities, but a lot of them also think Trump's style and demeanor reminds them of the Burmese generals and the regime they fled, and at least in 2016 that was a factor since Clinton was perceived to care about Burma and be knowledgable about it, not sure if the same applies to Biden. Anecdotally they also don't think Trump is a true Christian, but I only got that from one Karen guy. I could see a lot of ticket splitting with people voting for Biden, but GOP down ballot. Biden is pro-choice, but he's open and serious about his faith, knows about foreign policy/cares about human rights and other countries and Trump's demeanor is just at odds with Karen culture. On the other hand liberal American culture is completely alien to them and the riots could also have pushed some people towards Trump.

I feel bad for those countries, must suck having millions of people at once in your country always demanding to speak to the manager at their walmarts

This post sums up why many Asian subgroups are up for grabs for both parties.

I suspect most Myanmar-origin Americans are ethnic Bamar (or more likely ethnic Chinese), and that Karen Americans might not identify as “Burmese”. But this is all baseless conjecture and inferences about suggested 2nd degree Facebook connections on my part. I can count the number of Myanmar-origin individuals in the US I’ve personally met on one hand.

From Wiki:

Karen people first arrived to the U.S. in 2002. In 2017 Minnesota was reported to have more than 12,000 Karen, the largest such community in the country.[2] Other places with significant populations are California, Texas, New York, and Indiana.[3]

Total population
215,000[1]

Regions with significant populations
Arizona, California, New York, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Georgia, Wyoming, Minnesota

If they’re “Karens” about underage drinking and teen smoking: Biden

If they’re “Karens” about mask and vaccine mandates: Trump

Interesting how Trump won the "Nancy" vote and Joseph was tied. I wonder who won the "Donald" vote.

Nancy is basically an old woman's name. Considering Joseph is just a generic male name, it does lean leftward of how men vote in general

The Donald vote probably went heavily Republican for this reason given its a very old fashioned name.

Donald was the most Republican name they surveyed.

Among male names, Joseph and David might be overrepresented with Jews?

And Christopher with Scandinavians?

David maybe, but Joseph absolutely not. My hometown was about 30% Jewish (but much less now) and all Joseph's/Joe's/Joey's were Italian. Biden's strength with Joseph's is certainly linked to his strength with white catholics.
