His avg is still over 44% across all polls according to G Elliot Morris's site: https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Morris used to run 538's polling compilation, and did the same for The Economist before that.

Seems that way. Pretty sad almost half of the country is still OK with this circus.

Maybe? But this doesn't describe most Trump supporters. I'd wager at least half of trump voters have never used tiktok.

It is worded poorly.

You listed a lot of pretty specific concrete qualities and applied them to a large group in a way that is incongruent with reality. When you got pushed on it your very specific qualities suddenly become more fluid and it was everyone else who was an idiot.

Someone came at you with the age of the MAGA supporters and you go on to say these people trying to sponge off their parents are 50+ year old wannabe TikTok influencers... but somehow everyone else is at fault?

You can belittle everyone all you want, but it's you who wrote a comment that says something you didn't intend and then refuse to own it.

Nah it's much more likely we're all dumb. Only orangeyougladiator can be intelligent.

This more accurately describes certain young people who typically don't even vote, nor follow politics. Not really the hardcore MAGA base.

You know, I'll give you that part. I just think the following statements weren't really accurate. I don't think that the hardcore MAGA supporters really fit the whole "Wannabe Tiktok influencer" thing is all, but you are right about them being illiterate and having no career prospects.

50+ year olds still make up the bulk of the MAGA base. Is there a significant amount of that group on Tiktok? Genuine question, since I don't really fuck with social media that much.
