Yeah sadly Trump supporters come out in force.
Point being they have a target demographic which is proven by any poll (Maga crazies and republicans)
Thankfully they have zero influence; other than with their target group.
Someone posted this (below) on another thread which I thought was interesting - personally since the left wing has become entrenched in identity politics and is currently in the process of removing fundamental women and girls rights, removing vital safeguarding against predators, installing violent men in women’s prisons, and sterilising children, my views (and vote) have shifted. For me (in UK) women’s rights are my hill to die on despite many years spent voting on the left.
(Start of post - sorry I don’t know who posted it):
Interesting article, using Markle and Oprah as examples on how the US politic parties have changed dramatically.
‘The Democrats claim Republicans are racists. But they cannot explain why record numbers of minorities are now deserting the Democrats, and the blue-state urban areas they run, to join the new Republicans.
As Republicans diminished the role of race, the Democrats grew ever more obsessed about it -- and ignored class. The Oprahs, Meghan Markles, and MSNBC anchors of the world fixate over skin color in direct proportion to their own affluence, status, and privilege -- as their hypocrisy turns off the middle classes of all races.’
Compare the income profiles of voters, whether by ZIP codes or congressional districts. A once lunch-bucket carrying, union member Democratic Party has become the enclave of three key constituencies.
First, there is the subsidized and often inner-city poor.
Second, the meat of the party, is the upscale, bicoastal professional and suburban credentialed classes.
Third, the real rulers of the party are the hyper-rich of Big Tech, Wall Street, Hollywood, the corporate boardroom, the administrative state, the media, and the legal world. Almost all these institutions have lost public confidence and poll miserably. Their cocooned leaders are never subject to the ramifications of their own often unworkable policies.
In contrast, Republicans this election cycle concerned themselves mostly with material issues of the battered middle classes -- inflation, the price of fuel and energy, a secure border, crime, parental control of schools, and realist foreign policy.”
