I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.
We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

It's just really funny that they trained their LLMs on the entire corpus of human knowledge and they're consistently annoyed with each fresh discovery that reality has a left-wing bias.

You cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. Round up every refugee in camps and they'll want the next cruelty. Their 'concerns' are not about society, the economy or public safety, they're an ever moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged.

This is like that time Labour got decimated for being in coalition and voters were scolded "well now ye can forget about repeal, so ye can". #GE24
Now, the make up of the next Dáil is a bit more clear.
People voted for more of the same.
No problem.
Just please don’t moan about housing, health & infrastructure issues.
Even more better, don’t cry about the climate change fuelled disasters.
Yous wanted the Greens out after all.

Fine Gael have smashed the Enda Kenny glass.
He’s rallying for Harris in Mayo - putting a focus on the Taoiseach’s apology to Charlotte Fallon on more than one occasion in his speech.
With Fine Gael’s poll lead shrinking - it’s clear the party has a serious worry about that moment.
