      Obviously this is also true: that Trump polarized and mobilized the electorate, getting a huge turnout for himself but also mobilizing a larger countermajority. But I'd insist it's important that he never got a plurality, let alone a majority, of voters.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1327453553380749312 …

      This is dangerously wrong. He significantly increased turnout. 10 million more people voted for him in 2020 than in 2016 Go through historical variation election to election and you’ll find that’s a huge jump. There are maybe 2 dozen Dems out of House or Senate seats bc of that

      I was triggered by “still a limited appeal.” If I edited that tweet of yours I’d have sent that back for a new phrase. Whatever Biden got, you can’t call 72 million “limited appeal” without breeding underserved overconfidence

      Okay, let's say he's the president of a minority: a large minority but still a minority. I also think it's significant that unlike almost every other national leader in the world, he saw no significant jump in support from Covid. No denying his large base, but still a minority.

          When you are in the range of “roughly 50%” it doesn’t make any meaningful difference to the zeitgeist whether it is specifically 49% or 51%.

          He is the chosen president of white people in America. That is sickening.

          Right but his demonstrated support level is high enough for the right wing party to win consistently, absent a massive counter turnout that resulted in split control

          1/I think this is where Matt Christman’ take about the split between non-college educated and college educated voters is useful. Trump mobilized the non-college educated elocorate consistently, which consists of a overwhelming majority of citizens.

          2/Trump and the GOP haven’t increased turnout among this group to overtake Democrats, but it continued partisanship hardens along educational lines, then it will eventually be the dominant force in American life.

          3/the coalition of non-college educated bears the benefit of being ethnically diverse and leveraged in geographically significant portions of the US. Dems could appeal to this voters too tho, but would have to be a more economic left culturally right party

          4/which would piss off it’s current base of either economically left and culturally left progressives in big cities or economically right and culturally left suburban voters. The GOP can roll these voters in easier on culture war bullshit.

          He gets enough votes to make needed change impossible. His support is astonishing given his failure re Covid. It's very disturbing. Downplaying Trump's support after Dems lost ground in Congress seems wrong to me.
