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.

Does. Not. Matter.

When you vote for T you know you are getting all of T.

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

Sure, and the poorly educated overwhelmingly chose to believe the lies they were told because they were attractive, and were taken advantage of. It doesn't matter. Lets say they were single issue voters on the economy, well, they still voted for T knowing all of what that entails.

[estearum]

Sure, I agree with all that? They're all morally culpable.

That's totally irrelevant as to whether the current actions are actually popular.

[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.
