you have some who bent over backwards over the rights of Rittenhouse, for example, but then again he was a 'regular' (white) boy next door.

And as far as 'FAFO' - the majority of white women once again voted for Trump - who is busy taking away their reproductive rights - yet there is very little said about them.

A higher percentage of Jews also voted for Trump this time around. Then there are Jews like Bill Maher who didn't vote for Trump but routinely chastises Dems, which has a far greater effect on voting than some pro-Palestine protesters may have.

The ire of many white liberals (especially older) over the election outcome is often directed at non-whites and youth voters, whose votes they seem to feel entitled to.
