We lost (some of) the black men, the Hispanics, the youth and the first time voters.

65. I think there's a lot of truth in this.

The reason I think you're right is that every Trump voter I know is well-off. They have professional jobs that pay well, or they're retired with very comfortable incomes from SS and real estate investments, etc. They are not particularly hurt by high prices and poor working conditions. They just like to complain and they're greedy for even more tax cuts.

Meanwhile, the young people I know who are actually hurting in this economy all voted for Harris. Yes, they're mad that things are so difficult and they're annoyed that the Democrats haven't done more, but they're informed enough to know the right decision with this binary choice.

I know my experience might not be representative but I suspect it is. For every poor person who was confused enough to vote for Trump there were ten well-educated, wealthy, socially powerful people who trotted down to the polls to vote for Trump even though they know better.
