Good thought piece from a PhD Psychiatrist on how Trump managed to win 70 million voters. 20 min.
There are MAGA people on this site, and in this thread. They are often rational in other parts of their lives. I recommend viewing this to understand how they've been indoctrinated and brainwashed.
1) Economic uncertainty stemming from the pandemic spending causing inflation. Those were mostly your swing state voters, and have now mostly been lost due to the collapsing economy. You can see Trump's approval ratings are now under water. These were the "hold your nose and vote for the GOP" people who have buyers remorse. These are the people globally who are voting every incumbant out of office (right or left).
2) The "hardcore" MAGA. Mostly not born racist, but came to it through a diet of Fox News, and Social Media. Makes the point (with footage of a KGB defector) on how Russia is able to use access provided via social media to radicalize over decades the uneducated American voter.
