       Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump.Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support.1/N

       There's a statistical lie that the US tells itself:"Poor white people are more racist than rich white people!"This is objectively, demonstrably, false. It's been shown over and over. But we still cling to it. We use lies like: "college educated white people are less likely to vote GOP!"First of all there's not a 1:1 correlation between racism and GOP. Second, business owners are richer than employees, and most US business owners *didn't* go to college.2/N

       1. The most accurate indicator of Trump support, is racism. The 2nd most accurate, is sexism. Not "economic anxiety." The only anxiety that they have, is that Black people might have some money.https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/1125091461419429992. Most Trump voters, were not working class.https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/1098768247399918413. Most Jan 6 participants, were rich.https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/1098804859302198704. Venture Capital, is the most racist part of the US financial/capital allocation system, by far. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/1099821151666067873/N

       Most of the *people* in Silicon Valley, vote Dem.But most of the *money* in Silicon Valley, votes GOP.Some of these VCs sit around in online chat rooms with alt-right reactionaries and real life nazis. Some of them hold little public meetings, where they talk about ending democracy and great replacement theory. Some of them write books on why diversity is bad, and should be avoided. Most of them cheer on Elon's anti-woke, fashy push.And y''all are surprised that they support Trump?4/N

       When you hear "college educated white folk," picture:* A barista at a Starbucks in Portland * Pam and Jim from The Office* Military officers* TeachersNone of these people are making bank.🤷🏿‍♂️ They're slightly pro-Trump or pro-Biden, depending on the region.When you hear "non college educated white folk," picture:* Tech startup founders that drop out of college* Trades business owners (plumber, electrician, etc)* 70% of real estate agents* 77% of sheriffsRich. Very Trumpy, everywhere.

       Shout out to all the people just now learning that a US Sheriff, whose job is statistically safer than being a gardener, carpenter, or taxi driver, and that barely graduated high school, and whose job is mainly harassing and beating unarmed Black and Brown people... gets paid between 3X and 6X the salary of an active duty Navy Seal with 2 Masters degrees, on deployment in an active war zone.🙂🙃6X. Not a typo.Many of those sheriffs took time off of work to go act out at Jan 6. No SEALs did. 🤷🏿‍♂️

       @mekkaokereke as a very white person: rich white people are so commonly racist that I noticed it on my own once I was exposed to them fairly regularly, and I am both white and not very observant of people in generalIt's that bad.Poor/working class white people are sometimes racist, but rich people are just Out There with it

       @RandomDamage @mekkaokereke Poor white people need to interact with all kinds of people in their daily lives, enforcing a bit of reality. Whereas, rich people can take an "allow list" approach to deciding exactly which individuals, or groups, or opinions, are able to even exist in their presence.Inter-ethnic grievance is an ancient bad thing we live with, like viruses. But rich people basically enjoy "Apartheid For One" wherever they go; it guarantees some degree of sociopathy IMO.

       @RandomDamage @mekkaokereke I'm not using "whitelist" anymore, but it was very tempting to use it there...
