Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn't sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

Yeah, there was certainly a lot of propaganda and lies to help elect Donald, but let's be very real here - leftists not voting or voting third party over Gaza wasn't a major part of his victory. Kamala Harris had a very weak campaign that didn't address the concerns of young, white male voters. Personalities like Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, and others really do appeal to those people, telling them that they're just fine and pointing their fingers at an endless list of targets to keep these people angry and afraid - and ultimately to vote for people like Donald who claim they'll fix everything. I wasn't trying to strawman but I have seen a lot of online comments purely blaming leftists for this election, and it's frustrating.

What did I say, in my comment, to address exactly what you just repeated?

Specifically I'm interested in this part:

That had a very specific answer in the comment you're replying to.
