In reply to the discussion: What is the probability the attackers on the Montgomery boat dock Are MAGA? [View all]yardwork
(61,813 posts)20. Let's look at what the exit polls say...
According to Pew Research Center, in the 2016 election, 54% of white voters voted for Trump, and 62% of white male voters voted for Trump.
In the 2020 election, similar majorities of white voters supported Trump again. To me, a person voting for Trump in 2020 - after his disgraceful behavior in his first term - is the definition of a MAGAT.
I'm an older white woman who lives in the South. Although I live in a deep blue bubble, I generally assume that random white people I meet are quite likely to support Trump.
