The Immigration Politics Of FanDuel Americans
New American Conservative column
Why are the Brocasters turning on Trump over immigration? Could this issue doom Trump’s chances with the all-important FanDuel American demographic?
I discuss this subject in my latest American Conservative column:
Trump’s youth support has sagged as of late. In February, a majority of young voters approved of him, with over 60 percent of men under 30 holding a favorable view of the new president. By late July, Trump’s approval among young men had plummeted to 27 percent, one point lower than for young women. It’s improved a bit since then, but the president’s approval is still far from the February high.
The economy is the primary reason for the drop in approval, but young people aren’t showing much enthusiasm for Trump’s immigration agenda either. In a recent New York Times poll, over 60 percent of voters under 30 oppose mass deportations. That contrasts with the majority of the general population that supports the measures. Nearly 60 percent of this demographic agreed with the statement that the U.S. government “is mostly deporting people who should not be deported.” Meanwhile, 51 percent of Americans think Trump is deporting the people who should be deported. The poll did not break down the age demographic by gender, so young men could be closer to the general population in their views than their female peers.
Read the rest here.
Most people want the impossible.
Lower taxes, higher spending, reduced deficits.
Fewer immigrants without any deportations.
Public safety without messy encounters with the police.
Etc
Whoever they elect they can’t deliver this contradiction, so they blame them and elect someone else, who also can’t solve the contradiction.
I find this analysis very accurate. I'm a zoomer, my friend group mostly falls in the "FanDuel American" demographic, with a few libs and a few TPUSA types (I'm the only truly BASED person I know), they aren't super happy about the deportations. They mostly hated the the left because of tranny's and nagging lib types making the media insufferable.
