R to @ettingermentum: Things shifted away from that after the Ukraine scandal broke, shifted away more when Biden and his very moralistic campaign won the nomination, and then got completely reset after J6. Even now the influence of J6 still keeps them from having the same convos they did in 2017.

R to @ettingermentum: The interesting thing about this is that this was a message that Dems took the heart the most in 2018. They took active efforts to take the focus away from Trump and worked hard to make taxes and healthcare the central question of the campaign.

IMO, this shows the main lesson from the 2024 election: Trumpism isn’t hegemonic, but it is seen by a majority of people as a ā€œnormalā€ political tendency and needs to be interacted with as such. There’s no battle for the soul of the nation, just normal politics.

Trump’s approval decline over the past month has been fascinating because the stuff people like/dislike is completely reversed from his first term. His personal style has been normalized/appreciated to an extent as strong leadership but people are still mad about the economy.
