Well, I can't be sure if you are serious or thinking that somehow this article goes against my prediction or ideas about the electorate. In any event.
1) What a bunch of BS that article is. Here is a snippet that is indicative of the whole article - "If it weren’t for a large anti-Trump vote, particularly among African Americans and better-off, better-educated voters, Joe Biden would never have won his relatively narrow victories in Michigan and Wisconsin." What kind of crap is that? If it weren't for a large anti-Trump vote? If IF and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas! Well, there was a large anti-Trump vote because he's an ass, and we wanted him out of office! Wow! Also, his narrow victories in Michigan and Wisconsin? What? Trump had narrow victories in 2016. What If I said, "If it weren't for a large anti-Hillary Clinton vote"? Just amateur hour here.
2) Just because a group of people in a certain demographic votes for someone and even for a specific reason, doesn't mean it is SMART to do that. LOTS of Trump voters voted for him because they thought he was a successful businessman who would do wonders for the country economically. Well, that didn't turn out too well. Yes, I made a ton of money during his 4 years, but that's because I am educated and wealthy and have a lot of money in the stock market. These fools who voted for him in poor rural counties do not. For the record, I made a ton of money during Clinton's reign and Bush's reign and Obama's reign. Trump was the biggest danger ever to our freedoms as Americans, an ideal these fools who voted for Trump say they hold dear. Just stupid...OR racist as I have correctly said many times.
So, again, not sure what you were going for there, but the above is the correct reaction to that article.
