Sure separate people into groups then pander to each and hope they do not tell each other. Unfortunately the candidate they imposed was not up to this task.  One thing that did change is the impact of social media which was no longer under strict control due to Elon buying Twitter. The decision to change accents based upon the audience, flip flop on policy and when pressed only describe herself as middle class while smiling/giggling worn thin.

Meanwhile,the majority of the people were being squeezed by the 20% inflation over the last 4 years. They decided more of the same, which the candidate suggested was not in their best interest. So self interest did play more of a role. Just my opinion, your free to have yours.

Do you not have an identity? If the Democrat party highlights a set of identities, but your identity is not one of the ones highlighted, that makes you want to vote with Republicans. It's not complicated unless you want it to be complicated. And I think you do!
