Juno News - The media's anti-Trump narrative backfired

We still don t know for certain who won the election yet, but we do have some interesting exit polling data that tells a very interesting story. In fact, it backs up something I was saying a few months ago in advance of the election. I was predicting that we would actually see these demographic groups that Donald Trump supposedly hates and he doesn't like them, and they don't like him, and he has policies that are terrible for them, so they'll never vote for him. And the data shows that has actually turned out to be true.

00:00:00.000 While we still don't know for certain who won the American presidential election yet,

00:00:10.120 we do have some very interesting exit polling data that tells a very interesting story. In fact,

00:00:17.080 it backs up something I was saying a few videos ago in advance of the election. I was predicting

00:00:23.240 that we would actually see these demographic groups of voters that Donald Trump supposedly

00:00:28.160 hates and he doesn't like them and they don't like him and he has policies that are terrible for them,

00:00:32.620 so they'll never vote for him. Those groups that we hear this narrative about, they're actually going

00:00:37.280 to come out even more in support for Donald Trump. And the exit polling data shows that has actually

00:00:44.020 turned out to be true. Why did I first think that? Well, we just saw all of these polls happening in

00:00:48.880 the months before the election, when there was turmoil in the streets of many American cities

00:00:53.220 during the summer protests turning into riots led by Antifa involving Black Lives Matter,

00:00:58.780 the polls showed that more black voters were gravitating towards Donald Trump. Wow. Also 0.94

00:01:04.760 recently, we saw that more LGBT voters were taking an interest in Donald Trump. Interesting stuff there.

00:01:10.620 So what actually happened? Well, the exit polling data from firms like Edison, which is one of the

00:01:15.920 top ones in the country, they suggest, yes, this stuff did indeed happen. Huge increases in the African 1.00

00:01:23.280 American vote, men, women, increases in white women as well, increases in the LGBT vote going up to

00:01:30.560 something like 28%. The Muslim vote even increasing, not by a ton, but from 13% to 35% in 2020. Wow. 0.81

00:01:40.960 In fact, the only demographic it seems like he lost on was white males. Everything else saw an 0.96

00:01:47.740 increase. What is going on here? Well, I think there are two things that are happening. One is I

00:01:52.720 think people were told, Donald Trump has terrible policies for you. Donald Trump hates you. And

00:01:57.020 folks said, okay, well, I'm going to want to fact check that. I'm going to want to see just how much

00:02:01.060 he hates me and just how terrible these policies are for me. Then folks looked into it and thought,

00:02:05.880 oh, I don't know. I'm not so sure that's actually true. And I really look for the evidence and the

00:02:10.680 goods. And actually, I kind of like this policy or that policy. And they voted accordingly. And I

00:02:16.420 think another thing that played a big role in that is more and more there is toxic identity politics

00:02:21.920 everywhere, filtering into every aspect of our lives, all media, all entertainment, all just basic

00:02:29.220 discussions where we should be able to get away from all of that stuff. The sports world, heavens,

00:02:33.660 we can't get away from it there. And I think people of all walks of life have said, we've had enough.

00:02:39.660 We don't care about this toxic identity politics. That was supposed to be front and center why Donald

00:02:45.380 Trump was a bad man, orange man, bad, and what a villain. And people just got tired of it. As I've

00:02:52.100 said many times before, look, if you don't think Donald Trump's a good president, you think he's a

00:02:56.440 bad candidate, you don't like the policies, well, just say it, articulate it fairly politely. People

00:03:01.320 will listen. Maybe they will agree with you. You like Joe Biden better. You like Hillary Clinton better.

00:03:05.580 Okay, we'll put the case forward. You can volunteer for them, donate for them, you know, whatever you

00:03:09.680 got to do. It's a free society. It's a democracy. But this oversell, this over-the-top stuff,

00:03:16.440 I think it didn't work. In fact, I think the evidence shows it backfired.

00:03:20.880 We'll be right back.

00:03:29.920 Okay.
