| Ryuu96 said: The Republicans from Wisconsin endorsing Harris are making me believe they see something, especially because they're both currently serving, it may be nothing but it's boosting my optimism for Wisconsin specifically. It has been risky for Republicans in the past to endorse Democrats, especially due to the insane MAGA cult. Anyway...
Truly focusing on the issues that matter to everyday Americans, whether a person is trans or not. |
Even if fewer voters care about trans issues than the economy, it could be that those who do care about issues are much more passionate about it, and can be more easily driven to vote. Hatred towards minority groups has sadly been an effective motivator. I honestly don't think it will work, but we'll see.
Another factor you have to consider is that Trump has put people in charge of his campaign that may not be the most politically savvy. Elon Musk has a lot of influence, Lara Trump is in charge of the RNC, etc. There are a lot of odd decisions being made recently (see McDonalds). It could be that people who get most of their information from a social media echochamber are a bit out of touch with what most voters really care about.
As for Republicans more and more pulling for Harris, the question is why. One reason could be that they fear Trump is going to win... but I'm a bit skeptical. Trump has been awful forever so if that was their motivation, why now and not 1, 2, 4, or 8 years ago.
Another potential explanation is that they are rats fleeing the ship. Perhaps they see in their state that the winds are blowing against Trump. If Trump loses their will be an internal war in the party, and I perhaps they feel that having spoken out against Trump will benefit them in that struggle.
