I do not consider Obama and his followers nerds tbh. I do think many white xennials (a large number of whom were involved with Hipster culture, the types of
couples who like craft beer and craft burger joints and beard clubs) with far left former counter culture parents wanted to seem open-minded just by supporting
a biracial man for president or rather they were afraid of being labeled racist. Another possibility is people just felt John McCain was not a good candidate.
Many elderly people even felt McCain was too old or just were brainwashed by Obama's optimism. My grandmother (silent generation) voted for Obama when we took
her to vote because she couldn't bring herself to vote for McCain. She pronounced Obama's name as Bama. The Obama admin was a weird time. The recession also
allowed Obama to rise. 2007 was a rough year economically. There were perhaps some nerds in Obama's following. Like I had this one nerd in class whose surname
was Dunham and he was so proud that Obama's mom had that surname. I felt that was so cringe. Millennial optimism was bullshit and it should be renamed to
xennial optimism.
I think Trump supporters are split in 4 camps. The ones who may not be Republicans or MAGA, but they just think liberals are extremely cringe and they are. Like
why would anybody vote for Democrats in the USA? They aren't helping with social benefits and welfare. They did nothing for education, student loans, or
healthcare... so unless you care about some social issue or the illusion or wokeism, its pointless. I see the No Kings protestors. All earlier boomers. Not
even many generation Jones amongst them. Just angry people who are rebels without a cause and think this is still Vietnam. I find it hilarious that Nixon ended
the war and somehow they hated him and wanted to bring him down. lol. The second camp of Trump supporters are the wealthy obviously who have their own intersts.
The third camp are just normal people who feel let down by the Dems and thought Kamala was a bad candidate. The fourth are the truly ignorant who will stand by
any MAGA policy even if negative. Maybe this 4th group are anti-education and hence anti nerd because they will defend PPP loans like crazy, but fought against
student loan forgiveness.

I think that's the TV plot version
Nerds vs jocks
The real trump clique theory battle is losers vs losers, because only losers believe in politics in that they think reality TV is reality
Jocks just go with power plays, preps have lobbyist jobs which pay them no matter who is in charge, scumbags form militias and nerds do science shit

I mean political debate may be disguised as nerd theory in that it involves statistics sometimes, but neither Obama nor trump supporters can really understand
math so are not nerds in true sense. At best its debate class kids who pretend to be nerds but are really losers in that they are bad at math and can only blah
blah

How about pajama boy? He was your typical Caucasian male Obama enthusiast. lol. Obama attracted many uppity whites who were fearful of being called racist. The
white BLM protestors are the children of the boomer senior No Kings protestors. MAGA surprisingly has many nonwhites maybe because they feel Trump has lots of
machoism. hahahah Then, of course there are the Florida panhandle redneck types. The rest are just normies coast to coast who wanna pwn the libs and yes only
losers invest heavily in politics... However, if an issue touches you personally then it's not wrong to rant.
