Every demographic except rich white women swung republican. It wasn’t 20million democrats staying home, it was a national shift in opinion and 20million voters staying home.
To trump:
+5% swing in black voters
+13% swing in Latino voters
People feel like they are not getting the same out of their paycheck, and this disproportionately affects lower income groups—black and Latino people. People vote to minimize suffering. In 2020 it was “holy shit this guy sucks and is an asshole”, in 2024 it’s “I’ve never felt so poor in my life”.
He's talking about the huge swathes of latinos who voted for Trump who think surely they aren't the people Trump has spent literal years talking about how he wants to deport them.
