The real problem electorally isn't the relatively small number of conservatives who will stay at home. It's the much larger number of swing voters who either won't vote, or will vote for Kamala. And those are the critical votes essential for winning that Trump has been alienating.
Obviously, if he's also losing some conservatives, that makes it even work.
Oh no, no, no you’re wrong
Why I was just instructed on this here forum on another thread that Donald Trump doesn’t need those votes because there’s all these Democrats that are coming out for him on election night
Thats nonsense to everybody else in the world, but to his base, it makes sense.
Let’s take Minnesota for example. I grew up in St. Louis County Minnesota, and I was raised not very far from the Iron Range. These are blue collar, working class conservative Democrat as you can get.
Now let’s compare another MAGA fantasy to the reality
From 2020
Hibbing, Minn. – Despite unprecedented attention from the president's campaign this year, Iron Range voters were not swayed.
St. Louis County as a whole backed Joe Biden by a 16-point margin. The county went to Hillary Clinton by a 12-point margin in 2016.
On the Iron Range — a frequent topic of President Donald Trump's speeches in his Minnesota visits this year — Republicans continued to seek out longtime DFL voters and split a formerly dependable bloc of labor votes. Yet several Range cities whose mayors endorsed Trump — like Chisholm, Eveleth and Virginia — sent more votes to Biden than Trump on Tuesday night.

The battles now are over crowd size, who is copying whose stupid economic policies, and still fighting over the 2020 election and using 2016 presidential and 2022 midterm campaign strategies
Do people ever think that may be the voters have Trump fatigue? He was 1/2 of a rematch campaign that voters didn’t want. The other half of that stepped aside
The Republican Party is going to need to do some serious soul-searching. Trump‘s loss should not be an excuse for the GOP to go back to the Bush years.
