Scott Lemieux picks up on the theme of idiocracy that Campos started. He also notes that, of course, Trump's base and the new voters that swung hard for him in 2024 are infrequent voters. This also means, almost by definition, that they are poorly informed voters.
I live in a very Trumpy town in a Blue State. You can usually guess with some accuracy which groups at the other tables of the restaurant are Trumpists. Even more so, I was doing some shopping and noticed an unusually dense concentration of, well, dirtbags. They reek of cigarette smoke, they have crass or offensive bumper stickers on their cars and you can almost see them seething.
Here's the thing, I don't think even the Dirtbags (or Deplorables, if you will) are interested in Elon Musk's plans. I don't think they are interested in voting for someone who isn't Trump - himself a gilded Dirtbag.
They will likely blame Democrats for the coming price spikes coming with the Trump Tariffs, but fuck'em.
