I would not be making generalizations on any group based on what spews out of Reddit.

It's fair to judge a community by the average sentiment their members post.

[bulbar]

Begs the question if the conservative Reddit community really represents the average Republican voter. I don't think so.

[JCattheATM]

The average republican voter voted for trump, so I do think so.

[halfmatthalfcat]

They voted R, there's no way to make the distinction on why they voted.

[JCattheATM]

Nonsense. A vote for R was a vote for T.

[estearum]

A vote for T is not a vote for every dimension of T.

In fact, all the data shows that the economy was the absolute top issue by a huge margin.

There's good reason to believe that not only would any Republican have gotten similar or better results, but that if it had been a Republican in power, that any Democrat would've gotten similar or better results.

Incumbents got smacked (far harder than Trump v Harris) in every election in the world in 2024, which is concordant with a long history of incumbents getting smacked during periods of high inflation.

[bulbar]

That's a logical fallacy. That doesn't show that the poll is inaccurate.

The average R voter can be dissatisfied with how it all turned out while the average reddit conservative R voter isn't.
