Non-college voters, the base of the MAGA movement, are abandoning the GOP.

MAGA's net favorability is -22 pts (down 28 pts) with them. Trump's now at -19 pt net approval with them. Dems actually lead in the race for Congress with them.

This is what blue waves are built on.

Do I the think that? Of course not. Unless you’re being sarcastic, you missed my point.

Tom Massie, Rand Paul lean libertarian Republican. Many in MAGA and FR chase them out of the coalition to make the coalition smaller.

They also chase MTG out of the coalition. But she is not consistent on the issues and can’t be labeled on issues.

Tucker, Candace, etal seem mostly ego and personal money and fame based and not ideological. I think they should be chased out of the coalition, unlike Massie and Paul who should be welcomed in the coalition.

“crony capitalist”
I made $60,000 to $120,000 for 12 years and less than that for 45 years. Over my adult lifetime between 42% and 47% of my income has gone to the government...Federal, State, Local.

That is not “crony capitalism”. That is a MIXED ECONOMY, Half Capitalist, half Socialist.

Trump buying share of stock in private companies is crony capitalism. I oppose that. But it is very small compared to the big role of socialism and capitalism in the mixed economy.

Mostly what I see is stable polling throughout the year with the dems having a 5 point edge .
Beyond that there are about 12 seats which are up for grabs. The Republicans need to six to take the house, the dems need to almost run the table.

Trump may be in rough shape. But the dems are worse offensively

The Senate is to blame. They sit on their butts and do nothing.

Maybe it’s not about Trump voters switching to the Democrats.
Maybe it’s about numbers of them just not voting.

I read non-college educated voters are definitely not voting DSA or Socialist, AKA Communist candidates in Michigan. In fact, most aren’t voting Democrat since most are pro-socialist, AKA Communist. More media gaslighting.

Non-college voters didn’t vote for Socialist, AKA Communist candidates in Michigan. The majority of voters don’t want Socialist, AKA Communist candidates.

Walsh obviously didn’t check average incomes. People are doing well with MAGAnomics.

I keep reading on X that expectations are that Republicans are going to win bigly on November 3, 2026 - mid-terms, because the majority of voters don’t want Socialism, AKA Communism in our country.

I keep hearing large number of Democrats don’t want Socialism, AKA Communism in this country. Non-college voters in Michigan didn’t vote for El-Sayed because he is a Socialist, AKA Communist. Blacks also didn’t vote for a Communist.

I could have been clearer in my comment, but my complaint wasn't about the political discourse here on FR, but about politics here in the US.

(For example, the deficit spending that was such a problem under a Democrat suddenly isn't a problem anymore when it's our guy in the WH.)
