Christian fascists are pretty fuckin far from what Jesus preached

Still in some ways amazing that Christians are such a big supporter of someone who very clearly embodies all of the seven deadly sins. (I know they are just for Catholics but they broadly track)

Considering the data doesn’t actually visually demonstrate the claim (although obviously it’s true, because I know that white evangelicals are a very large portion of the population), I’m not sure this is all that beautiful. Maybe a grouped bar chart for each population grouping using absolute numbers would be better.

The real news is the rest of the percentages.
Hispanic protestants and while mainline protestants voted in the majority for Trump. That is a concern.

Is this a single issue voter problem?
Trump won convincingly in every single segment where banning abortion is a dominant goal except Hispanic Catholics.
He lost convincingly in every single segment where it isn’t.

This is pretty interesting. Even for a solid red voting block, 85% is really high. I am also surprised Protestant blacks specifically are so low. If you asked me to guess ex ante, I also would have guessed both White Catholic and Mainline would have been in the 60s.

You need to include the size of each of these groups to support the title statement. As is you can say “Evangelicals were the most likely to vote for Trump.” But you would need to extrapolate to population to say they were the “largest voting block”

Need weighted values. Not each demographic is the same size (obviously).

Why is every single political analysis in the US done by race?

Some women might not want to hear this, because it destroys the comfortable (but false) narrative of evil patriarchical men wanting to control women’s bodies, but…
Abortion is also not a gender but a religious issue. Both men and women have almost the same views on abortion in the US.
I mean not really surprising that conservatives religious people wouldn’t vote for a progressive woman…

The hispanics that voted for Taco Don are a funny group

Uh oh redditors aren’t gonna want to hear that 40% of Catholics voted against Trump
I’ve been told that all of the millions of religious people in the country are all the same

What is “beautiful” about this data? It’s a standard bar chart, red for Republican/blue for Democrat (practically the oldest color scheme in politics), and the bars don’t even give a sense of the size of the voting bloc (so the title of the graph doesn’t even match the data presented).

I’d love to see his score among atheists and agnostics. “Other non-Christian” probably includes them along with all other religions

I wonder why there is this big difference between Hispanic Protestants and Catholics
FlexFanatic on
Hmm, based on the chart there is one key word that pops up for those voting republican

More surprising that Hispanics is his second highest demo when they are the #1 targeted demo.

Everything Trump is literally embodies the Anti-Christ. Every sin in the Bible Trump has done, everything blasphemous he’s done. Its while how stupid the Christians here in the US are at getting conned but I guess they’re used to it being Evangelical Christians.

America has a cult problem.

Makes sense. Easiest to manipulate, most bigoted and most cult like. No wonder they love Trump.

I always did say I was far more intelligent than most of his supporters.
This only confirms it.

But I thought we were blaming the Latinos and the Muslims for this one? You’re telling me that was a divisive distraction and that largest Trump demographic by miles was “religious white people”?
Tbh the only thing that surprised me about this chart is that the Jewish vote was so proportionally high (higher than “other non-Christian” which would include those pesky Muslims in Michigan whose votes wouldn’t have clinched the state for Harris, anyway). I thought that the Jewish bloc generally leaned more decisively blue, especially in recent years.

White Catholic 59%.
Only 41% voted for an actual white practicing Catholic…

White evangelical Christian Americans are some of the worst people, as a group, in the world. They don’t even have any of the excuses a lot of other bad groups have (poverty, desperation, oppression, the weight of history, etc). The bulk of them are fairly privileged, too. The most vocal, viciously theocratic ones have never gone hungry, never feared becoming homeless, never legitimately had any reason to fear for their lives. Some of the most comfortable privileged people and they can’t be happy with everything they lucked into! They gotta keep hurting people because their own culture ruins their joy and protects abusers, making everyone miserable and angry but god forbid they ever blame the actual culprits.
There are some poor evangelicals but they don’t really represent what evangelical Christianity is in America. The core of it all is upper middle class and low upper class scumbags who insist on making the holes in their hearts everyone else’s problem

The Jewish numbers are interesting; most polls from Jewish publications I’ve seen from the 2024 election had the split being between 20-80 and 30-70.

No one is less representative of the teachings of Jesus than Trump and no party has been less reflective of the word of Jesus than today’s Republican Party.
