We've all heard variations on the question: What motivated a majority of Americans to cast their vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 Election? Ricochet's Dave Carter was on the receiving end of just such and inquiry from a high school class mate he knew years ago in his hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana. This episode, without any guests or interviews, provides Dave's answer. It is, as he says, "respectfully tendered," in the hope that whether or not there is agreement on policy issues, the listener will be disabused of the idea that Trump voters are motivated by racism, sexism, selfishness or any other nefarious motives. But here, take the next 20 minutes and listen for yourself.

Can somebody check on the linkup with Apple podcast? There hasn’t been a new show up there since March. @SamuelBlock. @EJHill

I wasn't aware of that. Good catch!

I can't speak for trends or other macro ideas, but if someone were to challenge me on how as an evangelical Christian I could vote for Mr. Trump, I'd point out that literally the top campaign priority of Ms. Harris (other than "defeat Donald Trump") was DEATH (abortion). She also heavily emphasized division (DEI), violence (don't discipline the criminal), slavery (uncontrolled immigration), and hate (shun those who don't agree with you). So I have trouble understanding how my Christian friends who are constantly claiming to advocate for "love" could vote for her.
