Low-trust voters (especially young people of color) are drifting towards the right (2024)

“Voters with low levels of trust in society and the political system are shifting rightward. Donald Trump redefined the GOP in the eyes of many, associating the party with a paranoid vision of American life and a populist contempt for the nation’s political system. In response, Democrats rallied to the defense of America’s greatness, norms, and institutions. As the parties polarized on the question of whether America was “already great,” voters with high levels of social trust and confidence in the political system became more Democratic, while those with low social trust and little faith in the government became more Republican.“

This makes sense. Successful Democratic Presidents have couched their arguments for voting for them to make a change to the system, not uphold it. That is the essence of conservativism.

▲ R1 is repeating a far right Russian troll talking point.

And 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 the real issue, added to the fact that young people spend a lot more time staring into their smartphones, consuming propaganda on social media.

And R3 perfectly illustrates the point

Accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being a Russian IS conservatism

Dear R1: the gutless, spineless, obese, pervert who is the spiritual leader of your bowel movement, Donald Trump, spends two hours every morning doing his hair and putting on his makeup, spent 4 years sitting his fat white ass on the couch in the Oval Office beating off to the assclowns of Faux News giving him on air verbal blow j*bs, and according to his favorite hooker, has a tiny dick.

How much more of a freak show do you want?

[quote]R4: Accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being a Russian IS conservatism

No, babe. It's not about 'disagreement.' Far right and Russian 𝑑𝑒𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑠𝑖𝑦𝑎 have very specific telltale traits, and are being targeted towards various user constituencies on social media. That's a fact, and not open to debate.

And being aware of the information warfare on social media isn't the equivalent of Cold War far right anticommunism. News Flash: the Russians aren't communist anymore.

[quote]R7: Wanting an 82 year old man to serve another four year term isn’t autocratic?

No, it isn't. Wanting a 77 year old man with ambitions to be an autocrat is autocratic.

No, R7, it isn't.

But wanting a petty, vindictive, overgrown man-child who wipes his ass with the US Constitution and has vowed to set up a dictatorship and banish his critics if he gets reelected sounds quite autocratic to me.

[quote]That's a fact, and not open to debate.

Again this is how conservatives think. A Democratic Party that disavows aspects of liberalism like questioning authority, the establishment and conventional wisdom is a conservative party.

We live in a country of opulence and excess. Our people don’t starve, they don’t serve, most can get some level of health care, the vast majority don’t even know a homeless person,

And we are bombarded by social media, which we claim to hate but are involved in every day, and it makes us envious upset and full of angst and hate.

Despite having lived in a well off stable country, not perfect but well off and stable, those on the left and right see nothing but potential doom and gloom and heartbreak coming,

We are ripe for a right wing win, Then in time the winds will shift and a generation will come along in time that will fight to make things better again.

We today will bitch and moan and complain and express hate for those that disagree with us and hate many who agree with us but are not as pure as they should be. We are the dead generations. Fat lazy triggered and worried. In time stronger generations will replace us and the fight will go on.

Troll, troll, troll your crap everywhere you go...

Be better or it's off to Ukraine to be cannon fodder 😠

[quote] the fact that young people spend a lot more time staring into their smartphones, consuming propaganda on social media.

A large part of that propaganda consumed by young people on social media is antisemitic, anti-Israel, and pro-Palestinian. It’s pretty scary.

[quote] The Republicans looked at the sh*tty state of our country and started blaming everyone else.

When you state “blaming everyone else”, you mean blaming the people in charge of the White House and executive branch, which in that situation would be the appropriate target.

[quote] they decided to turn up the government printing presses to high and handing out trillions of dollars in free money so people would vote for the ass clown

Biden turning up the government printing presses to high and handing out trillions of dollars in free money seemed to help in the 2022 elections, but the resulting huge increase in inflation may hurt him in the 2024 election. However, he may get some support from the billions in free money he handed out to student loan debtors.

Biden didn't initiate the PPP, R25. That occurred on Trump's watch. Trillions of dollars were handed out to people and businesses and only a small portion of it has actually been recovered or accounted for.

Just this past week, a local restaurant owner was convicted of taking over $1 million in PPP loans, and the bitch stay closed even after the government mandates had been lifted, all the while collecting government money to pay her employees (who never got a dime).

"the people are defecting toward the duck."

Which just shows you how stupid the average American voter is.

The lard assed, entitled blowhard didn't do jack sh*t for the working middle class while he was in office. The only people who did better under Trump were his con artist/grifting family and his equally con artist/grifting golf buddies.

What makes these idiots think Trump is going to give a rat's ass about the welfare of the average American the second time around?

^ "Trump's unexpected success in traditionally Democratic areas "

Like the Bronx? 😂

You can always tell a Russian troll, they only speak in absolutes. Trump WILL win, Democrats WILL fail. It always reminds me of this classy Russian guy

Russians are the dumbest f*cking morons on the planet 😂

Trump is not the issue. His time as a clown , a fool, a criminal, and a drain on his own party will come to a close now or in a few years. If you think this is about trump you are sadly wrong.

The right the far right those that want to see the US and Russian as partners will be an issue for decades to come. And they only have to have one big win. WH, Senate, House, And the US will head down a dark path for years.

Scott and Johnson and those a lot worse will be the issue. Smarter than trump more vicious than trump more competent than trump. They not trump will be the big issue and for many of you, this will last for the rest of your life.

^ My God, you even write with a Russian accent 🤦‍♂️

That's it, Putin is getting a stern letter from me on the quality of his trolls, they're a lot like his army in Ukraine, abysmal losers

And yet young voters and black voters supported Dems in 2022 and 2023. You're saying they magically turned right-wing in a year?

🤣 😂

[quote] You can always tell a Russian troll, they only speak in absolutes. Trump WILL win, Democrats WILL fail.

There are people on DL who post absolutes, like Trump WILL lose and Biden WILL win, but I would just call them political fanatics.

The latest person to betray Biden to Russia?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy!

How do you like that? He was working for Putin the whole time.

R40

Please tell me you never graduated college. I would hate to think that universities are turning out dumb sh*ts like yourself.

I’d say I would hope you are a MAGA troll but sadly I am sure you are not.

You’re the one who claims to love democracy so much. This is what you have to deal with. We choose our leadership based on perception and emotion. Trump appears to have the upper hand.

Calling people names and blaming everyone else only reinforces a narrative of weakness, like Hitler lashing out at people in the bunker.

"We choose our leadership based on perception and emotion."

Which is why we have a murderous jack ass like Donald Trump running for office, because he's the king of perception (superb yet bankrupt businessman, strong and successful yet being a petty, vindictive, first class bitch.

"Calling people names and blaming everyone else only reinforces a narrative of weakness."

Because Donald Trump never, ever calls anybody names and never, ever blames anybody else for his predicaments.

Donald Trump is a first class, lying, cheating, scheming, nasty, egotistical, lazy, rash, compulsive and unable to control basic impulses, dangerously stupid jack ass. He must not be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office again..

R54

f*cking A what strong accurate words. I can feel a shift toward Biden starting to build already.

[quote] This guy is going to beat Putin's ass

Yes if victory depends on memes

"LOL one-third of this thread is from the Russian autistic person "

FIFY

R63 Russia-obsessed autistic person,

The reason you have spammed this thread with images is because you are autistic and think in images. That is why you cannot respond with written arguments, because you do not have the capability.

This isn't a thread it's Russian propaganda. You are the spam

You Russian peasants are such chumps, while you spend your days spamming American social media to pay for your potato and vodka your Czar Putin lives here. God, are you people a bunch of suckers or what? 😂

"Low Trust Voters" have another name, "Non-Voters".

Young people NEVER turn out to vote in big percentages. If they're dumb enough to vote for Trump, f*ck 'em, let them lose the rest of their rights and pay their student loans forever. Keeping women from ever being able to access an abortion will honor their permanent victim status, so it's turning out to be a smaller issue than anticipated! Hey, if they don't care, I certainly don't!
