I hear exactly what you are saying. I voted for Biden and Clinton before. The country went insane from 2020 thru 24 and the concealing of Biden’s decline was atrocious. For me the left just went to far. I have 2 white heterosexual sons and I could not vote for a party that declared them an enemy. Everything else was downstream of that for me. Ill vote for the bad guy before I vote for that. Trump has actually surprised me, delivering on many of the issues I voted for him on. If I have to endure his grift and other flaws its a price I’ll pay. I voted against what the Dems offered.
I completely understand and empathize with why some people are upset or even dismayed at what he’s doing though; i just think it’s necessary.
Your opinion is unpopular among a very vocal class, but is also very widely shared. There has been an incredible shift rightward by Gen Z males, and specifically, Gen Z white males.
When you consistently deride and undermine a demographic, they see what you’re doing, and don’t like you very much for doing it.
Its my opinion that Trump was just the warmup for the rightward shift. Vance or Desantis is going to be next and will be far to the right of Trump. Desantis' 2nd term was the first time I ever voted R in my life. I'm in my mid 40's.
I've always been a Dem and was right up until Biden's term. I've never seen anything like it. Maybe I was just blind to the creep before that. First time I noticed it was the DEI training at work. I did not like that at all. I'll never vote Dem again, the risk to my kids is just to great. So to the right we will go.
