The problem with the demographic analysis of who voted for Trump and Harris is that it doesn’t explain why people voted as they did. If a young white male and older Black woman both voted for Trump because of egg prices, their different demographic profiles are beside the point. My theory is that people didn’t vote for a narcissistic sociopath but rather a bunch of narrow cohorts voted for Trump because he was on their side on the single issue they cared most about: abortion, egg prices, trans issues, lower taxes, less regulation, immigration, owning the libs, anti-Democratic party, libertarianism, God anointed him (surviving the assassination attempt), not a Black candidate, not a woman, not a Black woman, not from California—the list goes on and on and cumulatively gets to 49% when you have a con man overseeing it and blending this toxic brew. Trump is proving to the 6+ million people who voted for Biden and not Harris that staying home or voting for Trump was not the answer. There are about 90 million eligible voters who didn’t vote. If they don’t like what they’re seeing, the GOP is toast. And remember, Dems actually picked up a seat in the House and won four Senate seats in swing states Trump won. Harris got more votes than Biden in four swing states but Trump got a lot more than he did in 2020. Bottom line for me is that Democrats actually did well and Trump is a unicorn.
