They are not a myth. And if you think so you’re just giving up. Lots of voters swung to Trump in 2024: especially minorities and young people. Swing them back.

They didn't. Thats reading the data wrong. Dems lost significantly more voters than Rs gained. R vote gains were roughly in line with population growth. For every voter Rs gained in 2024, dems lost 2 from 2020. 3 if you factor in the growth of the electorate.

Trump gained a greater share of minority & young support compared to 2020, but thats because dems lost serious ground in those cohorts. Not because absolute support went up. They didn't switch support to Trump. They just didn't support Harris. And that was with dems sprinting to the center.
