Summary
“It’s simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,” said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.
Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.
Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.
Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.
Your energy would be better spent blaming the politicians for not advocating policies that cater to the worried and concerns of voters
Do you really think people who casted their votes this way are blameless?
The Democrats have their fair share of responsibility for not dealing with the reality of what they have to work with and advocating better positions and trying to solve their problems. Significant blame.
But that doesn’t make Trump voters or non-voters not culpable for cutting off their nose to spite their face. It’s still wildly ignorant at best and evil at worst.
“Party of intersectionality and identity politics blames cis Latino men and cis black men for dem election loss while calling republicans racist. More at eleven.”
Mexico has a populist female president. This loss is not because of identity politics or sexism, it’s because Kamala did not address economic issues that voters care deeply about.
I don’t know how much I can be mad at the mentally impaired for voting against their own interest. Like, I can be mad about it but really I’m just frustrated how the system encourages their exploitation.
It’s really just systemic failure all the way down. The constitution is a sham and needs a full rewrite. Giving each state the same power in the senate and capping the house is beyond corrupt and feeds the general apathy.
The voters are not to blame. This is the democrats and dnc fault 100%
