Democrats Won Highly Engaged Voters: In the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party successfully retained support from frequent and highly engaged voters. However, they struggled to connect with less-engaged voters, where Donald Trump held a significant lead[1].
Democratic Assumptions Challenged: The election results challenged several Democratic assumptions, such as the belief that increased voter turnout favors them. In 2024, Republicans benefited from mobilizing less-engaged voters[2].
Demographic Shifts: Democrats faced difficulties with working-class and non-college-educated voters, while Trump expanded his support among these groups and in urban areas[2][3].

I like all these fancy ways we come up with to say that stupid ignorant people voted Republican.
yeah. Clearly they are all just stupid and ignorant. Has nothing to do with the working class having their ability to engage in politics obstructed and being abandonded by the Dems and lied to by the Reps.
No everyone who isnt voting against their class interests for my class interests is just stupid and ignorant....
You’re giving them too much credit. Ignorance is in vogue. Most of the people voting for Trump couldn’t point to Maine on a map. Voting against your own best interests is quite stupid.
Not everyone, but a lot of them sure are!
