Yes.

I was just using the "age" at the top while filtering by the specific race. I didn't realize there was a specific "age by race" section.


The story is still largely the same.

Strange that the different filtering uses different age groups...

What's interesting is that age was still a somewhat significant predictor among white voters in 2016.
https://edition.cnn.com/election/2016/results/exit-polls

Same brackets as in your data:
D: 43/37/34/39
R: 47/54/62/58.


To compare the two election cycles:
Whites
2016: R +4/+17/+28/+19
2020: R +9/+16/+19/+17



But you're right, the age effect in 2020 mostly goes away once we group by race.
Essentially, the takeaway is something like the following: in 2012, polarization by income peaked; in 2016, polarization by race peaked; and in 2020, polarization by education peaked (while that by income, race and age was down).

2016 was notorious in that it was the first time there was a massive break in education among whites.

2020
White: D: 51/32 R: 48/67 Whites are massively more likely to vote Republican if they have no college degree
2016
White: D: 45/29 R: 48/66

CNN's website doesn't work but here's a graph on it that contains 2012 data.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-may-become-the-first-republican-in-60-years-to-lose-white-college-graduates/

Trump massively lost white college educated voters, whereas before it was pretty in-line with their proportion of all voters.

Yup, like I said: the "Trump realignment" swapped college educated whites for non-college whites in roughly equal numbers. Trump didnt expand the Republican coalition, but made it more efficient.
A second term for him would have gone badly for the GOP though, so I guess they dodged a bullet.

what a fraud leftie will not talk about or acknowledge
Who gave the order for vote counting to stop on Nov 3, 2020? 11.03.21

After Barr's ABC interview where he said there was no evidence of substantial voter fraud, at the White House:



Barr certainly portrays himself in a positive light... but I suppose he does deserve credit for his statement denying substantial voter fraud. And Trump comes across as a fucking madman, because that's what 74 million Americans want apparently.

The fight over democratic reforms and election laws is all about democracy. Democrats want to make the system more democratic, Republicans want it to be less democratic. You see this in the rhetoric both sides use, as Serwer points out. The right talks about "real Americans", and constantly paints the darkies not on the right as not real Americans. Trump asked the squad to go back to their own countries(even though some were born here). The most popular right-wing guy on television, Tucker Carlson, constantly beats that white nationalist drum about darkies and foreigners replacing the true, white America. Just yesterday at Trump's rally, MTG talked about AOC not being an American, and how she should be locked up. This rhetoric is everywhere on the right if you pay attention.

I think it's kind of obvious from the piece why he uses the phrase "multiracial democracy". For most of America's history, we haven't been one, and a major storyline in America is us grappling with not living up to our founding ideals by restricting the rights of non-white Americans. That's probably not something that would get included in the 1776 curriculum, but it happens to be true.

It's important to keep in mind what all this recent fuss is about: in 2020, because of covid, Dem-controlled state legislatures and state courts dramatically loosened the modalities of casting a vote, in some cases in blatantly unconstitutional fashion (e.g. PA). Due to covid, there were unique circumstances which justify these actions, but that doesn't change the fact that they helped the Democrats at the margins. (Trump would still have lost the election, but Perdue would have gotten over the hump and avoided the runoff, giving us a 51-49 GOP Senate, etc.)

A lot of the GOP legislation that Democrats and their allies in the media are describing as an "assault on democracy" is actually just a rolling back of these dem-favoring voting law changes which were passed in the year of the pandemic. At the same time, the Democrats are currently trying to ram through their wishlist, which would entrench their power for years to come, perhaps for as long as the current (sixth?) party system lasts. And they are trying to do so on the tiniest of majorities in Congress. Majorities which they presumably only have due to the - in many cases legally questionable, in some cases outright unconstitutional - voting reforms of 2020.

And while an ugly undercurrent of racism or race-baiting in GOP rhetoric is undeniable, it should be kept in mind that they place white liberals firmly in the camp of the "not real Americans". This rhetoric is dangerous, and a lot of it goes too far for my taste, but it shouldn't be blown out of proportion either. Democrats (and their allies in the media and federal bureaucracy) spent the better part of 5 years railing against Trump's deplorable base, insinuating that Trump was not a legitimate president and that his election should be undone. As an example, just look at this piece from 2019 in which a retired general publishes/was allowed to publish a thinly veiled call for a coup against Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/opinion/trump-mcraven-syria-military.html



Don't get me wrong though. I understand where you're coming from, just wanted to offer an alternative perspective.
