He’s found a massive influx of voters over the last 4 years, outperforming his 16 and 20 numbers in most counties nationwide. How, where did these voters come from?
Advertising, marketing, promotion … of you can convince 400 million morons that Coke is better than Pepsi you can sell them anything … including a president.
This wasn’t a contest about who had more charisma … it was just a matter of who had the better advertising and marketing campaign.
I think it was a matter of who was willing to go low. American people are not civilly minded, they appreciate hyperbole, satire, and vicious descriptive insults versus those they don’t like. This isn’t just Republicans who like these things, and one could even argue they don’t understand satire. Tim Walz was the energy we needed and the muzzle they put on him was like an enthusiasm sponge. When you say your enemies are good people who deserve a cabinet seat you’re fucking lost. Nobody in this climate gives a fuck about civility except the talking heads and politicians worried that making a stand needs to be proceeded by a ballot questionnaire and a sacrificial lamb.
Let me think about what I know about a trump supporter in my family who wasn’t one in 2016, but was die hard in 2020 and 2024. Nothing has ever been his fault. He used to buy into supernatural urban legend stuff. I don’t know if he still does. He had no job in 2020 but still thinks he was doing better than in 2016, so his own employment either doesn’t matter to his well-being, or he’s detached from reality. I mean I think it’s the second. He didn’t used to be racist (10 years ago), but I’m pretty sure he quotes fbi crime statistics without context now. I’m not sure how you reach that. He used to be moderate or even left of american center, but now all the news that is not Tim Poole is fake. Oh and he was part of an ayn rand sex cult for a year there. He still believes her stuff despite having been kicked out by the leader. I don’t think he’s newly mobilized though so whoever was this go around may be different. I don’t know if it matters now. I feel like organizing may get some crack down in the near future. Best case is he’s so incompetent that he can’t implement the policies he said he will and people can vote freely in the future.

He activated them. He grew his base. He took nonvoters and turned them into voters…
He did the thing progressives have been begging the DNC to do since 2016.
If nonvoters found him appealing, then they were never going to vote for DNC.

He probably listened to conservstive media, enjoyed being angry, and the repetition brainwashed him.
I guess I forgot to mention it, but he has also always had a temper.
Friend, could you kindly use paragraphs? I’d like to read what you’re saying, but It makes your text vary hard to parse without.
I added in some paragraphs
Nothing motivates people aged 20-40 to vote like small business tax cuts. /s
You’re such a DUMB Libtard! How could anyone NOT like Mass Deportations and Mass Rapes and Mass Financial Hardships?
