It's the season of "Since Trump won, everything he did must have worked."
So, what about anti-trans ads? A test of one ad showed it didn't affect vote share -- but it did create ~3pp less fav attitudes toward trans people.

His gains were widespread, so explanations should start with the broadest factors -- not with bespoke stories about states, cities, counties, and groups.
The simplest explanation: party of unpopular incumbent loses.

ICYMI, read @kelly_zvobgo's latest on the @UN General Assembly's recent vote (and debate) on a resolution on Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Here's a map of the votes (interactive version in the post!):
Last week, the @UN General Assembly debated Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and concluded the occupation is unlawful and must end “without delay.”
Why? What happens next? Read Dr. @kelly_zvobgo's @goodauth piece ⤵️
