I'm going to keep saying this over and over, because it keeps getting glossed over: Trump got the same number of votes in 2024 as he did in 2020. 74 million. He's *not* more popular now. There's a narrative push to say he "won" groups, when what happened was fewer members of those groups voted: young people, Latino men, etc.

The people excited about a Trump Presidency are pretty much the same people who have been excited about a Trump Presidency for 12+ years, with just enough new blood to replace those who died in the last 4 years. I am concerned to see Discourse parroting this narrative that he's suddenly more popular/a new hope, which is being used in media to manufacture consent and discourage dissent.
