Low-trust voters (especially young people of color) are drifting towards the right
“Voters with low levels of trust in society and the political system are shifting rightward. Donald Trump redefined the GOP in the eyes of many, associating the party with a paranoid vision of American life and a populist contempt for the nation’s political system. In response, Democrats rallied to the defense of America’s greatness, norms, and institutions. As the parties polarized on the question of whether America was “already great,” voters with high levels of social trust and confidence in the political system became more Democratic, while those with low social trust and little faith in the government became more Republican.“
This makes sense. Successful Democratic Presidents have couched their arguments for voting for them to make a change to the system, not uphold it. That is the essence of conservativism.

We live in a country of opulence and excess. Our people don’t starve, they don’t serve, most can get some level of health care, the vast majority don’t even know a homeless person,
And we are bombarded by social media, which we claim to hate but are involved in every day, and it makes us envious upset and full of angst and hate.
Despite having lived in a well off stable country, not perfect but well off and stable, those on the left and right see nothing but potential doom and gloom and heartbreak coming,
We are ripe for a right wing win, Then in time the winds will shift and a generation will come along in time that will fight to make things better again.
We today will bitch and moan and complain and express hate for those that disagree with us and hate many who agree with us but are not as pure as they should be. We are the dead generations. Fat lazy triggered and worried. In time stronger generations will replace us and the fight will go on.

Unbelievable? Not really. What are Democrats doing or saying to attract voters? The Republicans looked at the shitty state of our country and started blaming everyone else. Oldest game in the political playbook. It seems like they are fine with a turd in chief as long as someone does something to make the country appear better. People only care about their lack of money, perceived increase in crime and illegal immigration. Abortion? Gender? Israel? Not as important to them. Democratic Party leadership didn't read the room and now it's too late.

People, especially the less educated, are sick of the uncontrolled aspects of this society and will gravitate toward an authoritarian figure who will make all of their decisions for them. If one appears to be a control person, they will vote for that person. If a candidate, no matter how correct or honorable he might be, seems directionless, they will not vote for him.

Biden turning up the government printing presses to high and handing out trillions of dollars in free money seemed to help in the 2022 elections, but the resulting huge increase in inflation may hurt him in the 2024 election. However, he may get some support from the billions in free money he handed out to student loan debtors.

Biden didn't initiate the PPP, R25. That occurred on Trump's watch. Trillions of dollars were handed out to people and businesses and only a small portion of it has actually been recovered or accounted for.
Just this past week, a local restaurant owner was convicted of taking over $1 million in PPP loans, and the bitch stay closed even after the government mandates had been lifted, all the while collecting government money to pay her employees (who never got a dime).

The Democratic Party is experiencing significant anxiety about President Joe Biden's reelection prospects. Despite earlier confidence, concerns have intensified due to Biden's poor polling, fundraising shortfalls compared to Donald Trump, and the political landscape. This unease is compounded by Trump's unexpected success in traditionally Democratic areas and his substantial fundraising efforts. Key issues like high inflation, Biden's age, and the unpopularity of Vice President Kamala Harris contribute to the worry. While Biden's team remains focused on key battleground strategies and emphasizes successes, many Democrats fear the stakes of the election, particularly regarding the threat posed by Trump to democracy.

In a head-to-head match up with Trump, Biden and Trump are in a statistical tie, with Biden narrowly ahead 50%-48%. He leads by just 4 points with voters under 45 and by 6 with Gen Z/Millennials.
But when independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, as well as Green Party candidate Jill Stein are introduced, Biden trails Trump by 4 points. Trump leads by 6 with Gen Z/Millennials and by 8 with the under 45 group in this scenario.
