It’s not totally hopeless: Some swing voters who backed Trump may learn their lesson
No. No, they won’t. These are people intellectually incapable of admitting they are wrong. It’s hard even for most people, but in his base, it’s a pathology, and I very much doubt the existence of the hypothetical swing voters.
Trump didn’t win because of swing voters; he won because a bunch of idiots stayed home.
I’m going to keep throwing this out there. Every swing state has a Russian tail just like Putin’s referendum. There are tons of ballots that were down ballot dem except president as well as excess bullet ballots (ballots that voted for Trump only and no other races) compared to previous years. One of Elon’s Doge boys wrote software for reading ballots that had a write function. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

This is a Russian, billionaire coup
I agree with you; it was up to Kamala’s team to pursue this, though - the only party that could contest it - and she didn’t.
I really don’t understand this “it’s hard for people to admit they’re wrong” thing.
Like, I’m wrong a lot. It’s not that big a deal. Just adjust to new information, form a new model, and move on.
I think the difference is that you’re an intellectually capable person. I remember reading that a person of very low IQ is simply unable to imagine anything different than their perceived reality. If you asked a very low IQ person how they would feel right now if they hadn’t eaten breakfast, they wouldn’t be able to provide an answer beyond “What do you mean? I did eat breakfast.”
I think about this a lot when I see people parrot talking points from Fox News without being able to intellectually explain any nuances or create any new information from what they’ve heard.
There’s a reason why white men without college degrees are the largest Trump-voting demographic. The more educated a person becomes, the less likely they are to support Trump.
You’re an exception, not the rule. Even people capable of admitting they’re wrong find it more difficult the more contentious and adversarial the argument.
I believe you; I’m just saying you’re more well-adjusted than the average bear.
You don’t need to make guesses based on your own experiences, a quick googling of “swing voters” will pull up a bunch of data-driven approaches at analyzing them.
The GQP is a death cult.
Partisanship is a hell of a drug.
Not really so much to do with partisanship as with personality worship.
