The median American voter voted for Obama, and then Trump, and then Biden, and then Trump. They are angry about inflation, hate billionaires, don't want to start a war, and don't know who pays tariffs.

Basically, the median American voter does not have a coherent position. It's futile trying to build a narrative around them.

That’s not true - the first time in over 30 years that republicans won the popular vote was 2024.

In each of those other elections, most Americans (by millions) voted for democrats.

I mean I think that’s exactly my point this concept that there’s some kind of like ideal or coherent version of the American voting public it just doesn’t exist

Donald Trump is an irrational randomly reactive, incoherent person who doesn’t know what he wants other than to just be in charge and to do whatever he wants all the time

If that doesn’t describe the median American voter I don’t know what does
