I think a lot of the 2024 vote was neither "core MAGA" nor committed anti-MAGA; it was more of a primal scream for disruptive change, a push for punishment over Gaza, COVID, etc., or an emotional desire for hypermasculine strength.

None of that makes it right to vote for what we have now!

It's frustrating. Some Trump 2024 voters regret it - we can see this in the polls - but many still defend their vote. If the election were redone tomorrow, I am not 100% sure Harris would win. We of the anti-MAGA coalition still have a lot of work to do in building a durable majority.

FWIW I think the Right’s embrace of culture war politics was a big factor, but there were others - eg elite institutional failures, the rise of social media.
