Summary
A post-election survey by Priorities USA found that voters in key swing states prioritized economic concerns like inflation over Donald Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
Many did not view Trump as a continued threat to democracy, including key Biden-to-Trump voters.
Efforts by Kamala Harris’ campaign to highlight Trump’s authoritarian tendencies failed to resonate, as Trump’s image as a “successful businessman” persisted.
Democrats underestimated voters’ lack of hostility toward Trump, particularly among younger non-white voters, complicating their strategy in the 2024 election.
The fbi didn’t care taking years to arrest people the court system didn’t care giving out mickey mouse sentences. This isn’t on the American public. Dems still don’t fucking get it
It’s on the substantial fraction that voted for the asshole.
Everybody saw January 6. Everybody heard the call to Raffensperger. At least, everybody who’s paying the least bit of attention did, and I say this as a person who does not spend much time following political news.
I especially blame people who voted for him because of prices. I don’t expect an advanced understanding of supply chains, but do people think the USA has a command economy? The president does not set prices, or have much ability to influence them.
Credit where its due, Biden picking Garland as AG was idiotic and a big part of why Jan 6 was not more thoroughly pursued.
