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.

I've seen a lot of people saying this kind of thing. "Trump's message was simpler, easier to understand"

The double standard is insane. Harris had actual plans and explained them, meanwhile Trump can't finish a single cohesive thought. Bonkers. Anyone who listened to Trump speak for more than 60 seconds and still voted for him is braindead and you cannot convince me otherwise.

This is it right here. Especially toward the end of the campaign. These 'uneducated rubes' had no problem decrying how old and nonsensical Biden was.... and there was a lot of feedback from people near the end that Trump sounded like he was 'trying to lose'. They left his rallies in droves while he droned on after being 3 hours late to start with.

THIS is the guy you want making decisions with the nuclear football?

It's worse than uneducated, it's worse than disinterested. It sure feels like idiocracy at this point.

There are about a million different events I could point to and say "I can't believe he won after that", but among them was the 40 minute dance party instead of answering any questions. Imagine Kamala getting away with that.
