We’re rewarded socially (especially online) by dunking on our cultural enemies. Since those enemies typically correspond to socio-economic groups, we shouldn’t be surprised when this makes for divisive, ugly politics.
When it comes to American politics, it’s easy for the extremely online college-educated, younger, non-religious commenters to overestimate the share of voters in their in-group.
55 (50) per cent of the American electorate is over the age of 50
72 (61) per cent of the American electorate is white
61 (53) per cent of the American electorate does not have a college education
81 (76) per cent of the American electorate believes in God
Numbers for Democrats are in brackets.
The median voter is a 50-something non-college white who lives in the suburbs and believes in God. Anyone interested in winning elections should keep that in mind.
