Woooooooooooow!

Anecdotal evidence! I love it! I could drive around my area and find dozens of nice houses with Trump signs too! Big deal!

And actually, given the propensity for violence last year by Democrats, I'd bet a lot of Trump supporters didn't even put signs out because they don't even want to deal with the risk.

There were probably 20 Biden/Harris signs for every Trump/Pence sign.
These are also generally segregated neighborhoods. Limo liberals as they say.

See my earlier post where I have a link showing that billionaires are more Republican then Democrat.

More importantly though? The data for getting this is...well..not that useful in determining peoples politics. The OP link says its from IRS data, but they link to ANOTHER article-not the data. And THAT article indicates its all about the counties median income and who they elected.

The RICH democrats don't think they are benefitting. They simply vote democrat because they hate themselves and feel guilty for making all that money and for being largely white. Their friends will like them better if they vote for institutionalized income redistribution.

Plus they can put stickers on their bumpers and not offend their local school boards.

The POOR democrats are the ones who think they will benefit. It's hard to compete with Santa Claus, and that's why most poor people vote Democrat.

There were neighborhoods with lots of Trump signs. They just weren't the fanciest ones. The most expensive neighborhoods in Kansas City were filled with Biden/Harris signs. As I said it was probably 20-1 in favor of Biden signs over Trump signs.

When I went to some of the outskirts of the city there were more Trump signs there.

Then I will ask you again:

How did Trump win the over 100k bracket by 10 points and lose the under 50k bracket by 10 points?

Care to provide an answer this time?

Again, anecdotes.

Why did Trump win the over 100k demographic by 10 points and lose the under 50k demo by 10?

Did you go into the projects too?

Which signs were there?

Most rich people vote republican. Most rich people like lower taxes and don't need government assistance.

The 2020 exit polls bear that out, just like in the 30 elections before that did.

I mean, you guys used to make that argument against republicans all the time. Remember the incessant "ONE PERCENTERS" argument that we heard ad nauseum for 8 years under Obummer?

Perhaps he made his gains among, say, voters earning $100K to $200K, but lost voters in the higher income brackets, or something like that.

I think the best part of this thread? Folks on the right cant figure out if they're for having the rich people, or against it.

TEN POINTS? Come on man. These numbers are skewed. The average rich person in Missouri voted for Trump. You state went red by a lot. I have no idea how you could argue otherwise. Your inner city urban areas were blowouts for Biden and then the entire rest of the state, suburbs and rural, were hugely Trump.

The numbers cited are including the ultra billionaires like Bill Gates, Lebron James, and many others, who obviously vote democrat.
