"The media keeps trying to 'understand' Trump voters because they don't want to accept the truth about them. … Over the weekend New York Times ran Part in its continuing attempt to understand Trump voters. …

I am sorry, but some Trump voters are not merely misunderstanding 'the economy,' or imagining his 'principles,' and they don’t think that the 'mean tweets' are regrettable. Some of them want the authoritarianism."

@wdlindsy

The NYT seems pretty pro-Trump overall.

"There’s also another group of voters the NYT seems oblivious to: Biden voters. You may recall that in 2020 Joe Biden received more votes than anyone in American history.

"No one is terribly interested in what makes those people—who comprise a flat majority of the population—tick."

@wdlindsy I've come to the conclusion that Trump voters cannot be defined by any normal metric. As a whole, they are not stupid or uneducated. Some are well educated, ie Harvard, et al. Some are wealthy, most are probably not. For me, I can only describe them as either being very wealthy or having drunk the Koolaid.
