We need to come back to reality here. If Trump were Black and male, a convicted felon with multiple bankruptcies, he wouldn't get a job emptying the trash at the White House. I can't believe we are parsing the voting in this election and ignoring the elephant in the room. Trump is our first affirmative action candidate. After all, he was "hired" because he is white, male, and rich, and Harris's excellent background couldn't compare to this in a country where all politics is identity politics as defined by white people. Why the few Black men voted for this man is irrelevant in the face of this reality.
