The Demographic Groups That Propelled Trump to Presidency

Thursday, November 07, 2024

The Democrats banked on women, youth and people of color propelling Kamala Harris to the presidency, but some key Democrat demographics shifted enough towards Donald Trump to return him to the presidency.

More from the article...

... Donald Trump is the new US president and that's in part due to his ability to shift voters from the Democratic Party's base.

Not only has he won the requisite 270 electoral college votes needed to claim the presidency, but he is also poised to win the popular vote for the first time.

So how was Donald Trump propelled to his first popular presidency? ...

So how was Donald Trump propelled to his first popular presidency?

That's easy. The majority of voters want what he is selling.

Loudly announcing that one is going to pick only a Black woman for veep might tick off folks of other races/sexes when she inherits the role of nominee for president.

Also, our obese nation doesn't like paying $10 - $15 for a MickeyD's value meal.

Those are my main takeaways from this election.

I have a few others, but not sharing them since they'll tick off the powers that be, get removed, and I'll be banished from this nonsensically liberal echo chamber.

Also, our obese nation doesn't like paying $10 - $15 for a MickeyD's value meal.

Except that's not at all what the average cost of a meal is there.

In any case, how is Trump going to fix it and why are you stupid enough to think Biden caused it?

Depends on where you are (COL) and where you go. I regularly pay $10+ for a fast food meal.

Who says I think Trump is going to fix it or that Biden caused it? It's just that people blame those in charge when things are bad, or they think things are bad (see Mandate of Heaven; "Did Food Prices Spur the Arab Spring?" pbs.org ).

It's human nature and Dems sometimes benefit from it as well (Financial Crisis Gave Candidate Obama A Boost npr.org).

Of course, it does. But it's disingenuous to report exceptions as norms.

The average Big Mac meal costs less than $10.

Proverbial you.

People are just lashing out because they're angry but don't know why or how it's going to play out.

Problem is, they've handed the keys to overt authoritarians who are going to gut their lives and significantly decrease their quality of life.

To me it's the norm. As it is for many people living in blue (more expensive) areas.

No argument here. I don't look forward to Trump taking office, but Kamala's loss is not surprising based just on the inflation issue.

And, like I said, there were also other factors at play.

Censored lied about voting for Kamala.... He really voted for Trump because he wants Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine and he knows Trump will provide anything Israel wants to Finish It.

It's really that Simple.

Censored is too Callow and Craven to just Admit Who he Really is.

It's kinda Pathetic Actually.

He's a real Sad Case.

Do you have proof he didn't?

He's a Murder loving Ethnic Supremacist.

His own words on dozens of threads say he's lying.

He's not even hiding his delight at the thought of dead children.

Takes One to know One....

Up to a point I agree with your assessment.

The difference is don't cheer the deaths of infants or think unlimited Massacre is Cool.

I Don't think Israel is Always Right, Never Wrong.

I don't Admire Cruelty and Murder.

His writings here lead me to To BELIEVE HE DOES.

There were simply 2 demographic groups that elected -------:

It surprised the ---- out of me.

I've always thought that Trump's position was based on the perception that he wasn't as bad as the alternative. It turns out he was actually popular with a large number of people.

"He really voted for Trump because he wants Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine and he knows Trump will provide anything Israel wants to Finish It."

Your only issue with genocide and ethnic cleansing is that you want the Palestinians to be the ones doing it. Like all of the other Arab states did.

Do you know who doesn't want a two-state solution? Palestinians. They look at that multi-trillion-dollar diamond in the desert called Israel and think, "all of that should be ours."

People are angry. And even then it looks like 10 million fewer people voted than in 2020, even though our voting-age population increased (by about 5 million?) in that time. Trump will win in 2024 with about as many votes (maybe a few 100K fewer) as with which he lost in 2020, so not much changed for him.

All governing parties of major nations did badly this year. First time in history, pretty much. Dems actually did better than almost all of them, but still lost.

More here:

Dems join 2024's graveyard of incumbents
The incumbents in every single one of the 10 major countries that have been tracked by the ParlGov global research project and held national elections in 2024 were given a kicking by voters. This is the first time this has ever happened in almost 120 years of records. The cause? Inflation.

I wish I supported Trump. Would make the last ten years and the future 30 - 50 (of Trump's SCOTUS rulings) much more tolerable.

"Libertarian" got a big boost when GW disgraced the Nation with his presence, and his voters disappeared by the millions overnight.

Harris got the Cheney and Bush endorsement without giving up ANYTHING. ZERO NADA ZILCH

Why?

Because the man you voted for is a vile piece of human garbage.

Magat scum like you support him.

How vile does a republican have to be where dick cheney rejects him?

And you're still stuck on stupid like the rest of your party. See, people like me understand Trump is merely using a platform that was already established. He's smart like that. That's why he won. Your party welcomed in the war criminals. Go cry some more, maybe that will help. But for heavens sake don't dare accept anyone criticizing her or your party for why she lost.

Magat scum who voted for a rapist criticizes Harris for being endorsed by Dick Cheney.

Too ------- Funny

------:
1. Rapist
2. Convicted Felon
3. Steals nuclear secrets
4. Endorsed, no wait, even more-has dinner with LITERAL nazis
5. VP refuses to endorse him
6. Sick conman
7. Stole money from wounded veterans
8. Insurrectionist
9. ------ a porn star while 3rd wife home with newborn
10. Had his company dismantled over criming
etc.

Harris
1. Was endorsed by Dick Cheney, not welcomed in, was endorsed by Dick Cheney
That is it.

Face, you vile magat scum, you are trying to argue that ------- is more ethical than harris

That just shows who and what you are magat scum

I already told you, all that propaganda will be buried and undone. Trump's reputation will be cleared and it's a bit likely someone(s) who perpetuated the nonsense gets put in jail for a long time.. I mean, if I was Jack Smith Or Fannie Willis I'd be trying to see 'bout getting something livable in a non-extradition 3rd world country. Maybe shoot for something nice in Guatemala?

Sure Jan!

------- is and will forever be known as a rapist. He is and will forever be known as the bag of scum who was convicted of 34 felonies and impeached twice (and counting btw).

Historians will be studying for centuries this time period, it will fascinate him how our country could re-elect him.

There will be graduate level courses on Magat Scumbaggery.

And like W before him, Magat Scum like you will deny ever knowing the man, let alone voting for him.

But I won't forget
