Skin colour doesn't really have anything to do with with whether they are MAGA or not, statistically speaking. My family and most homies I know don't care for either Trump or Biden though that's obviously some first hand stuff but lines up with the stats. Obama was the last good one anyway.

Yes, it does. About 12% of black people voted for trump whereas 58% of white people voted for Trump. A random white person is about 5x more likely to be a MAGA-hat wearer compared to a random black person.

I've got to ask what is with those family and people you know -one candidate literally worked the first black VP, has a black VP, and is literally doing all he can to help lift POCs, and the other is blatantly racist, claims that elections were "stolen" by black people being allowed to vote, and with a party apparatus doing everything possible to disenfranchise black ppl. And they DGAF which one runs the country for the next 4 years?

That is a serious question - what is their thinking or feeling that drives them to this?
