Why are there so many Trump/Obama voters? Or instance, a bunch of voters as who swung from Obama to Trump. Same with counties, states, etc.

Are you suggesting that voters who swung from Obama to Trump got more racist in between those election?

Also, what would be the explanation for voters who swung from Biden to Trump?
An answer to those questions would be better served with additional context. Who were those people voting for before Obama? Is Obama the outlier for them or Trump?

Regardless the amount of people flipping back and forth is not the majority.

Much, much different social environment in 2008 compared to now.

Social media is way different now than it was in 2008 and it's way easier to promote white Christian nationalism. Also we were stuck in Iraq at the time, the economy was in a recession, and Bush was very unpopular.

Basically it was perfect storm and any Dem would've won the general election that year.

Ok, let's say you are right that White christian nationalism has been made more prominent by social media.

What about Trump's increases with Latinos, black voters, and Asians (proportionate to other Republicans)? Do those voters subscribe to the White Christian Nationalist project?

Some of them do, yes. Even they don't agree with the "white" part a lot still subscribe to Christian nationalism. There are even a few people I know who were liberal/moderate in the 2000s/2010s but now on their "Christian Conservative" BS because of social media.

Also, a lot of Latino voters consider themselves white for all intents and purposes (some are currently finding out they're not the hard way tho).

Yes. Social media is full of targeted influence posts. In fact you’re guaranteed to get targeted posts on Facebook from someone you’ve never heard of on a subject you hadn’t been seeking out.

No empirical polling data suggest that white christian nationalism is primarily why trump won 2xs, dems are going to continue losing elections after 8 years if this is the lesson learned.
