ELON Musk and Hulk Hogan visibly helped Donald Trump land his victory - but an overlooked sect proved to be the real stars in the Republicans' win.
The Amish, known for their aversion to government and elections, showed up and showed out to help Trump secure the most important swing state.
This religious group is famous for its passion for farming, dog breeding, and commitment to a deeply conservative lifestyle but 2024 has seen it rise as a political underdog.
The reserved group has a population of around 100,000 people in Pennsylvania.
The played a quiet role in the vital swing state which has flipped from The Democrats to The Republicans by tiny margins.
Trump won this state by just over 40,000 votes in 2016 and Joe Biden took it by 80,000 votes out of seven million in 2020.
Both parties spent most of their campaigns in this Rust Belt state but the red's triumphed by waking up this apolitical crowd.
This sect's silent power has previously been untapped as they traditionally do not vote and keep interactions with the government to a minimum.
Republican activists this year targeted the order and recruited the Amish on what meant most to them - raw milk.
A farming scandal ignited the politically quiet group to rise against the current regime.
Local dairy farmer Amos Miller had his site raided by state officials in January for selling raw milk.
He was banned from selling unpasteurized milk - which is a custom for the Amish and has become popular among some celebrities like Gwenyth Paltrow.

The county of Bucks won it.
We have a border collie that the previous owner acquired from Amish farmers in Missouri.
Well if Gwyneth Paltrow likes raw milk, sign me up for a quart! I’m hoping we may be seeing the dawning of a time where what celebrities think about anything no longer carries any weight
Now THAT’S something! Back was W. was running the wife and I used to drive out to Bucks County, visit a nice little place called New Hope.
Went for Hillary as I recall.
Scott Pressler is responsible. He drove the Amish vote out. Incredible ally of Trump.
The Amish helped. So did many churches. In Yuma, Arizona, my church and 28 others urged Christians to vote as Christians, not to hide their light under a basket.
The Amos Miller farm has an online site.
I hope they keep their names and addresses. ‘26 is 2 years away. No emails or phone #’s.
Here’s the guy(Scott) who did it ALL in PA.
Enjoy!

Trump really had a great ground game this time. I was concerned that he wouldn't. I bought into the MSM bulls--- about how how was spending all of his money on legal bills and not on getting elected. I posted as much here.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
He had people on the ground getting out the vote and they brought it home.
Amish and young black men. They were the margin in swing states. Young hispanic males also in many states. A day I never thought I’d see.
It’s a historic shift. They cared more about being men than woke. Also decades of broken promises and the Democratic party plantation finally caught up with them.
Thanks.
When Obama ordered them to vote for Kamala Harris, I think that closed the deal for young Black men.
What I really want to know is, who brought home the goth vote?
All the morons who kept using Amish as an euphanism for scuzzbags on this site should apologize. Probably the same dopes who beat the Yogi Booboo meme to death. It was sorta funny once.
They are known in the Tennessee area for puppy mills. But that is an aside.
I think that the messages of “be in the world but not of the world” and “if you don’t choose a leader that believes in God, then people who do not believe in God will do it for you”.
