There are hardly any ex trump supporters
I would. I'll actually make you a bet if you want.
there are walk-away campaigns
think about that
Didn't matter the second the Republican press picked up on it.
And I haven't heard it driving people towards the Republicans.
It doesn't need to
Trump's black approval rating is a pretty big deal.
and hispanic
And the midterms are decided in the suburbs. Middle class women have been driving the resistance.
It's in the 30s now isn't it?
Yeah. It's histroically high.
People not voting for dems or voting third party against a solid repub bloc has the same result
Really what is happening is that the political divide is becoming a male/female divide.
nah
With millennial women being the tightest block. As tight as blacks now.
authoritarian and libertarian
>Middle class women have been driving the resistance.
Really makes you ponder women's suffrage
I'd argue it was #MeToo.
They've basically re-written alot of the Democratic party at this point.
Issue-wise, yes.
It's also heavily decided by population density.
that would be authoritarian vs libertarian
not left/right
many gun owning liberals
Guns are a true urban/rural issue.
Also didn't white wahmen get Trump elected?
In part.
many reasons trump got elected
Not in total.
I remember him scoring remarkably well within certain age groups
2016 = Hilary beat herself
2020 = people vote for trump
Mostly voter turnout was low, which favors Republicans.
So glad Harmful is back
Rural people (liberals included) tend to see guns as key tools for fending against animals and potential attackers.
Urbanites (conservatives included) see guns purely as a weapon for crime.
Which is interesting because there are more human attackers in the cities
A theory I like is that rural living tends to make people self-reliant. Urban living makes people dependent.
people in citys have a stronger force acting on them than self preservation
