This hypothesis doesn't pan out when looking at states that flipped Blue to Red.
The biggest reason for Trump's win is the fact that 50% of Latinos, 46% of Asians, and 20% of African Americans voted for Trump - all significant increases compared to 2020.
And the biggest reason for that flip is because of Illegal Immigration and Inflation - for legal immigrants illegal immigration is basically a big F-you for following the correct path, and inflation has had a general impact nationwide.

- alephnerd 2y agoI'm Asian... And my dad flipped to Trump for those very reasons. The Trump team built a very strong minority outreach apparatus, and actually microtargeted based on ethnicity. The Dems were not granular enough so their messaging didn't land.
- mango7283 2y agoFrom the outside looking in sometimes I wonder if it's the democrats that are the ones that "have a black friend" and use minorities as props, not the republicans...
- leptons 2y agoI doubt you have a single black person that would call you a friend.
- mango7283 2y agoNo I don't, and even in my own context (I'm not American) I don't have much friends outside my own background - but I do know what it's like to see people perform performative "inclusion" and throw (insert group here) under the bus when said group doesn't do what they want them to do - in case it wasn't clear my comments were based on how quickly some people were quick to go "I hope those (minority voters that went trump) get a taste of what they voted for"
