  1. Figures the most gullible people in the country would vote for the grifter candidate

  2. Christian fascists are pretty fuckin far from what Jesus preached

  3. Still in some ways amazing that Christians are such a big supporter of someone who very clearly embodies all of the seven deadly sins. (I know they are just for Catholics but they broadly track)

  4. More evidence that religion has nothing to do with morals.

  5. Considering the data doesn’t actually visually demonstrate the claim (although obviously it’s true, because I know that white evangelicals are a very large portion of the population), I’m not sure this is all that beautiful. Maybe a grouped bar chart for each population grouping using absolute numbers would be better.

  6. The real news is the rest of the percentages.

    Hispanic protestants and while mainline protestants voted in the majority for Trump. That is a concern.

  7. Is this a single issue voter problem?

    Trump won convincingly in every single segment where banning abortion is a dominant goal except Hispanic Catholics.

    He lost convincingly in every single segment where it isn’t.

  8. This is pretty interesting. Even for a solid red voting block, 85% is really high. I am also surprised Protestant blacks specifically are so low. If you asked me to guess ex ante, I also would have guessed both White Catholic and Mainline would have been in the 60s.

  9. You need to include the size of each of these groups to support the title statement. As is you can say “Evangelicals were the most likely to vote for Trump.” But you would need to extrapolate to population to say they were the “largest voting block”

  10. Need weighted values. Not each demographic is the same size (obviously).

  11. In other news water is wet details at the top of the hour.

  12. Why is every single political analysis in the US done by race?

  13. I mean not really surprising that conservatives religious people wouldn’t vote for a progressive woman…

  14. Uh oh redditors aren’t gonna want to hear that 40% of Catholics voted against Trump

    I’ve been told that all of the millions of religious people in the country are all the same

  15. What is “beautiful” about this data? It’s a standard bar chart, red for Republican/blue for Democrat (practically the oldest color scheme in politics), and the bars don’t even give a sense of the size of the voting bloc (so the title of the graph doesn’t even match the data presented).

  16. Makes sense. Easiest to manipulate, most bigoted and most cult like. No wonder they love Trump.

  17. White Catholic 59%.

    Only 41% voted for an actual white practicing Catholic…

  18. I downvoted this because it’s just data, not beautifully visualized data.

  19. Leave it to the hardcore religious people to vote in the Anti-Christ

  20. Amazing that they voted for the most godless president ever. What a scam.

  21. It really is so crazy. He’s such a disgusting, blatantly evil, corrupt, and sleazy fucking worm. It’s not right that an actual cartoon villain won over supposed do-gooders and believers of christ. The hypocrisy and bigotry is overwhelming, the nation is infested with these pathologically dishonest fascists

  22. White evangelical Christian Americans are some of the worst people, as a group, in the world. They don’t even have any of the excuses a lot of other bad groups have (poverty, desperation, oppression, the weight of history, etc). The bulk of them are fairly privileged, too. The most vocal, viciously theocratic ones have never gone hungry, never feared becoming homeless, never legitimately had any reason to fear for their lives. Some of the most comfortable privileged people and they can’t be happy with everything they lucked into! They gotta keep hurting people because their own culture ruins their joy and protects abusers, making everyone miserable and angry but god forbid they ever blame the actual culprits.

    There are some poor evangelicals but they don’t really represent what evangelical Christianity is in America. The core of it all is upper middle class and low upper class scumbags who insist on making the holes in their hearts everyone else’s problem

  23. How that man is even tolerated by anyone who claims to be « religious » tells us everything we need to know about « religion » in the US.

  24. Of course they are. They are the largest supporters of oppression towards women, gay people and other minorities under the guise of “tradition”. Just look at historical data. They have no issues with their daddy being a rapist though.

  25. Would love to get some data on evangelical’s who voted for Trump and if they have the ability to read the Bible.

  26. The Jewish numbers are interesting; most polls from Jewish publications I’ve seen from the 2024 election had the split being between 20-80 and 30-70.

  27. I think this trend was there in 2020 as well. It’s still funny to me that Catholics would rather vote for Mr. Seven Deadly Sins in one person than one of the only actual Catholic presidents in US history in Biden. Talk about single issue voters.

    I’ve had super Catholic friends bashing Biden for all this personal stuff (talking points brought to you by Fox News) and i’m always like, you know the man is Catholic right?

  28. No one is less representative of the teachings of Jesus than Trump and no party has been less reflective of the word of Jesus than today’s Republican Party.

    Yet here we are.

  29. It still amazes me that Catholics voted 59% for the Anti-Christ vs the actively practicing Catholic. But abortion.. right?

  30. Imagine being hispanic or black and voting for Trump, that’s beyond stupid.

  31. Weird… He doesn’t have anything in common with Evangelics. As far as they’re concerned, he should be the anti christ. He’s on his third (fourth?) wife and cheated on all of them, Including paying hush money to pornstars. How are those Christian values?
