I do not believe that religion played a key role in this election. I think many people were brainwashed by right wing media, which made them vote Trump and many people are simply anti immigrant, racist or misogynist or just could not get past
Voting for a woman, let alone a black and Asian woman. Within the Latino community, just as with immigrants from a century ago, the older immigrants do not treat the newer ones with any respect. They see them as others and some even as criminals. The American dream becomes an achievement with a dark side to it. Painful but true. Kamala Harris would have been an excellent choice. It is a real tragedy all around. All the talk about inflation, while true to a point, is also a convenient truth for racism to hide behind. People chose eggs over democracy. Thats what the right wing media told them to do. And we didnt counter effectively. We ran out of runway.
