You gotta realize at some point that it was also 'He literally said he'd do this and mooks still didn't vote Kamala Harris". The amount of people who didn't vote for such a black and white election still astonishes me. There's no way the orange man wins that one in 99 universes out of a hundred.

Well the thing is, it was quite literally a BLACK vs WHITE election, and that's why. I mean honestly that's why. There are still way too many sexist, racist people in this country that they would still choose literally the worst possible candidate for president in the history of humanity than actually vote for a black woman.

Obama was elected. Against a white man.

Yes Obama is a man, and his opponent did not feed into and basically run a campaign on seething hatred and racism.

And I think back then, the racist didn't understand that he could actually win. I think a lot of racist probably stayed home in 2008 and didn't vote because they thought there was no chance he would win.
