AND that a large portion of the 40% or so of POC who don't vote at all are conservative and a lot more in sympathy with the conservative white man's party than the liberal party they regard about the way white Republicans do. They've been assisting white male conservatives to power for a long time, and the wave of authoritarianism that's risen on both right and left has a lot of POC in it. Note that Hispanics are voting in higher numbers, and more of them are voting for the authoritarians who put brown children in cages.
