Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

The very first thing Republicans are doing is to eliminate the billionaire corporation minimum tax, lower corporate taxes, and fund it with cuts to Medicaid, ACA, food for the poor, and Medicare. It was never about the price of eggs. They don’t give two shits about the price of eggs.

How is Trump going to cut taxes, increase funding for the border and military readiness, not touch entitlements, and still have DOGE find more than $1 Trillion to cut out of the discretionary budget? I've very excited to learn the answer.

This is where the fatal flaw of Trump's presidency lies. A critical part of his coalition is not MAGA. These voters, who pushed him over the edge, want lower groceries and housing prices. Trump will probably fail to deliver this. Our job will be to ensure they know he failed to deliver.

But Trumps support among "less engaged" voters is not ironclad. 60% disapprove of Trump personally. These are not red-pilled MAGA voters, they are voters impacted by the economy that decided what they didn't like about Trump was not as bad as the economic benefits they think he will bring.

Top issues to "less engaged voters? 49% said inflation and cost of living. 33% said economy and jobs. 29% said immigration and the border. "Less engaged" voters went into the booth thinking about the three issues that Republicans wanted them to think about and not the issues Democrats pushed.

According to Navigator, 33% of the electorate in 2024 was "less engaged" defined as saying politics is either "not too important" or "not important at all." Trump won these voters by 9%. 19% of the 2024 electorate did not vote in 2020. . . Trump won them by 12%

We often view the electorate as divided along partisan lines, such as left vs. right. The more relevant divide is engaged vs. less engaged voters. Viewing the electorate through this lens leads to a clearer understanding of what happened in 2024. Below are some eye-opening stats:

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows). Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

Yes, we need progressive media. But we need to make sure we reach less engaged voters. Read my newest Substack here: open.substack.com/pub/murmurim...

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE
