A lot of people voted because they wanted to hurt people who made them mad. A lot of this is about people being angry at liberal (and often stupid) ideas like pronouns. These people are willing to destroy the country because they are miffed that they had to wear masks during COVID. They don't care about anything but themselves. These are truly unserious, self-involved babies who have never grown up.

I disagree with Ben and Sarah, I actually think this is a useful operative lens to explore. The people who voted for Trump because they weren't paying close attention can be the target of pursuassion and using new methods of communication to reach. The people who affirmatively voted for Trump will never be persuaded to switch sides, but they can be persuaded to stay home. These are the "they're hurting the wrong people" voters, and I think they can be targeted and demoralized enough to keep them from voting.
