Some minorities, like the Jews, have a coherent culture and voice. These rioting crowds have no other means of expression. This is a glowing problem in the West by no means limited to American black culture: we have no significant leaders.
The Lesser of Two Evils
Five-thirty-eight has an analysis comparing the exit polls from the national election 2016 versus estimates of the presumed 2020 national election.
Four years ago, when President Trump was the Republican nominee, he won over voters who didn’t like him or his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, which gave him a boost in a general election that featured the two most disliked major-party nominees in history.
According to exit polls, 18 percent of voters had an unfavorable view of both Trump and Clinton, but when they cast their ballots, they broke 47 percent to 30 percent in favor of Trump. The president’s advantage among these voters was pivotal, too. Trump carried these voters by between 21 and 37 percentage points in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the three states that put him over the top in the Electoral College.
Two recent national surveys found that former Vice President Joe Biden has a big lead over Trump among those who have unfavorable views of them both.
This may be comparing apples to oranges. The antipathy toward Trump may have changed and those groups may have matured. His old reluctant supporters may have moved out of the interviewed cohort. Biden may be more of a health problem than a personality problem, Trump may have solidified support over the last years.
But the fascinated and obsessive analysis of mediocrity is no substitute for quality.
