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.

    FUCKING HOW!?!? How does anyone not know this loser chucklefuck would be richer if he’d just put his money away in investments and that he lost so much money over the years because he’s a shitty business man and the only inklings of success he’s ever had are because he’s a bastard mafioso who doesn’t pay anyone.

      I’d be willing to wager that your average Joe has not a fucking clue what an index fund is. Probably 1 in 10 could explain mathematically compound interest. If that.

        A very, very low number know how our tax brackets work, so compound interest is some intergalactic conspiracy.

          Too many Americans celebrate ignorance, it’s depressing as fuck.
