Theory floating out there backed up by some Frank Luntz polling data. Trump pissed off voters who voted for him in 2024 and so they flipped to the Democrats. The Iran War, affordability, health care, housing, gas, groceries, tariffs, Epstein, Israel First etc. In a nut Trump betrayed MAGA and MAGA got back. Basically some of the data strongly suggests this was a massive collective vote against Trump and not people suddenly liking abortion more or socialism more or woke more or anything else leftist more. This was politically existential, taking it to the next level. MAGA no longer supports Trump. Only the splinter offshoot Trump cultists do.
That is the theory. Hmmm......
So the time wasn't the only thing that Fell Back?
ReplyDeleteNot exactly new. Had a really conservative neighbor once and the popular incumbent guy in Westchester County that they originally voted for began doing things not so conservative. This was back in the day but long story short so he and some other conservatives deliberately voted for the Democrat to punish him. Happens.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in the midterms was off the charts.
MAGA:
