As well as winning over Hispanic voters, Trump improved his position in some surprising corners.

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.

      So a dictatorship, then?

      How about a democracy where you’re only allowed to vote after taking extensive courses on how to vote, see what’s important for you and others, and where you learn to see populism of any sort for what it is?

      While at it, add a requirement that anyone wanting to get votes must first undergo psychopathy testing, that’d be nice

      Obviously also remove the first past the post, winner takes all type democracies
