Of all the post-election analysis, it’s interesting that no one seems to be talking much about wealth or income
I saw an FT headline that reads "Poorer voters flocked to Trump”
But that’s not true, Not by these statistics:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1535295/presidential-election-exit-polls-share-votes-income-us/
The very lowest incomes favored Harris slightly, as did the highest
It was the mid-to-low incomes that “flocked” to Trump, not the very poorest
That seems important

the middle that voted with Trump stayed with Trump. Harris LOST the working classes that voted for Biden only because of the pandemic THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPRESSED THEIR OWN WORKING CLASS BASE. the majority of that demo are Zillennials because Zoomers in particular are the first full generation to be browner, blacker and poorer than previous ones. GAZA & ETERNAL WAR lost them the elections because they are working class issues for this new generation of voters. @peterbutler@mas.to
