There are people who voted for Trump who wouldn't steal a dime from you and would never harm you willingly. There are people who voted for Biden who would do both. There is not a strict correlation between morality in one's personal life and how one chooses to vote. The latter choice usually comes down to two highly imperfect candidates.
Democrats as well as Republicans have at times said: "We know our candidate is far from a saint, but we think the other side's policies will be very harmful." That's the calculation that a lot of people made regarding Trump. (Others told themselves fairy tales about how heroically awesome he is.)
So, they voted for a guy who tried to railroad innocent Black teens to the gas chamber, was fined for refusing to rent to Black and Puerto Rican families, who called Black neighborhoods wastelands, who claimed most Hispanic immigrants were rapists or criminals, who hired 3 VDare staffers to work in his admin, who allowed Identity Europa's leader to tour the White House, who made white supremacist...I mean Western chauvinist Steve Bannon his right hand man, and who claimed Obama wasn't American because he was Black because they're not white supremacists?
A fair number of blacks and Latinos voted for Trump -- more in 2020 than in 2016. Where he lost was among white voters.
Maybe you should tell us why all those blacks and Latinos were racist and immoral in voting for Trump. I didn't vote for him, but I'm not going to say that all the tens of millions who did are fundamentally immoral.
The question that hasn't been answered, as far as I've seen, is WHY blacks and Latinos voted for openly racist Trump, etc. I can see them not voting for a Dem, but voting for Trump?
There are conservative blacks and latinos. In fact latinos tend to be quite conservative. If the GOP could get its head out of its ass long enough they'd calm down on their open borders fear-mongering and support better immigration laws because quite a fair few of those coming here would be a natural part of their constituency.
Unfortunately the racism trumps rational political reasoning.
Kevin is absolutely correct. On social issues, blacks and Latinos are to the right of most white voters. If the GOP would stop with the racist nonsense, these voters, especially Latinos are natural conservative voters.
As I a reluctant Dem (I'm socially conservative), I say if the Dems would get their asses out of the ultra pro-abortion, ultra pro AOC, ultra Gore (still waiting for the Himalayas to lose all their snow and ice), etc., and start concentrating on what really matters to blacks and Latinos, they wouldn't vote for asses like Trump. Unfortunately, they're like the Jews who didn't mind Hitler - until he came for them.

I don't equate morality with stupidity either. But I do think these people are either stupidly or intentionally deluded.
