The “close divide” in USA only exists among white people. Every other racial demographic is clear in majority opposition to Trump but white ppl are 70% of US. Again, there’s this constant effort to frame the narrative in ways that avoid examination of white identity politics.

4. It's only close because of the Electoral College

It's now just common knowledge that Trump wouldn't even be in this race if it was about who wins the most votes.

And that may be the most damaging aspect of this ordeal. The entire population is being conditioned to accept that their votes don't matter, unless they happen to live in Florida or Pennsylvania.
