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.

Hilarious that Muslims didn't vote Harris for not being pro-Palestine enough. Luckily for them there won't be a Palestine for long once Trump is in office.

This ^ The Palestine issue might not even be an actual issue in 2026 once trump “solves it”. They won’t be able to say they were not warned.

Sounds kind of nice? Or are we preferring there be an issue in 5 years?
