Just like it was really weird that nobody was talking about shoving horse medication up our asses to cure covid.
Here is the thing. if you approach the data we have from the perspective of wanting to find something weird? You will. EVERYBODY has been clowning on nate silver (long before he became a parody of himself) because they don’t understand statistics or sample sizes. But when you actually look at the demographics who claimed to have voted and general polling… it paints a very reasonable and incredibly depressing picture of how trump won.
Americans don’t like brown people. This, somehow, isn’t just the white Americans.
Historically religious groups (e.g. Latinos) favor republicans.
Older generations tend to skew conservative AND actually go vote
But hey. I would LOVE to see an excuse that isn’t just “we are a country full of racist misogynists who just want to hurt people and people who can’t even be bothered to vote in their own interests”. But if the only person listening to the truth is a guy who has made a career out of being open with his struggles with mental illness (both genetic and experienced) who has been going further and further off the deep end since the mid 00s? Yeah… there is probably a reason other people aren’t listening to The Truth.
To be clear. I actually really like(d) Christopher Titus. I think he did an excellent job of using humor to make people acknowledge mental illness, toxic masulinity, and even domestic abuse. And he somehow did it on god damned fox. But he has also very clearly had troubles over the years and it was evident even from just the tone of his humor during his stand up specials.
And just because someone has a podcast doesn’t mean they are qualified to speak to… anything. All it means is that they have a microphone and someone explained to them that they could use stuff they would already buy or do to lower their tax burden.

https://catalist.us/whathappened2024/ is a good write up of things but it mostly speaks to what we all kind of knew going in:

You said a lot of things but didn’t address what the guy in the video said and has said.
Then please. Educate me as to what this great secret that only Christopher Titus is brave enough to share it is.
Not a link to a video. Actual words. And links to data to support it.
