Dem Group: Voters In The End Did Not Really Care That Trump Instigated Jan. 6 Attack

Priorities USA polling post-election found that Trump’s coup attempt was not a major factor, particularly for younger, non-white voters.

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.

    I was pretty sure the fucking DOJ didn’t care that Trump instigated Jan. 6. And when the people saw that it was going nowhere fast, their money became more important. It’s not like voting for Harris was going to change anything anyway, none of the investigations were pointing anywhere to jail time or barely a conviction. Even the only one that went well is ending with the judge signalling that there will be absolutely zero jail time or fine or literally anything in the upcoming sentencing. What the fuck are the voters expected to think of it?

    The only thing this article is talking about is that actual treason and attempted coup are used as a boogeyman being waved around to tell people to “vote for us or it will be worse” but never actually doing anything about it. Now they lost because they ended up doing nothing about anything. “There’s nothing that comes to mind that I would do differently.”
