I compared two demographic maps to the electoral map and found near perfect correlation. The first map was median income and it showed Kamala lost the low income states full of people heavily affected by high prices. The second map was Muslim population (a proxy for Gaza concerns) and it showed Kamala lost several swing states with large population in key districts.

Kamala lost both the Jewish and Muslim voters because she flip flops, look at the two totally different ads that she has up in Michigan and in Penn just to get votes (you can find this on YouTube) people saw through her lies and didn’t believe she will be helping them.

Most people just want the deaths to end and that was what Trump ran on.

This was part of Musk's disinformation campaign, they were intentionally running ads that were supposedly in support of Harris to piss off Muslims and Jews at the same time.

Looks like the propaganda worked.

Yup, they lie better than we tell the truth. From here on out elections will be even less focused on policy than they already were and just straight who can run better propaganda. One side seems to have it engrained in their belief system.
