      I was I could blame the patriarchy but the numbers are consistent for dem votes going back to 2004. The extra people who voted in 2020 didn’t show up again.

      Sure is!.. and deciding to change candidate without a democratic primary was part of finding that out.

      Gen-Z men also shifted towards Trump.

      So progress is unfortunately not linear, but can slip back to darker times. Which is not great.

      Edit: Also, though I think lots of Trump voters vote for him because he’s unusual. They see him as a vote against the usual. Against establishment candidates, and against the standard social-political contract. So establishment candidates being disconnected from what voters actually want is a big part of it.
