Armed with a supposed mandate from voters, Trump and his allies began the year with a wave of destruction—of immigrant communities, the federal government, foreign aid, and more. Democrats, cowed by the election results and terrified by the administration’s blitzkrieg, largely kept their heads down and wrung their hands over how to rehabilitate their tarnished brand.
There was, of course, another explanation for Trump’s shocking return to power, and it had little to do with him or his movement. Joe Biden’s presidency was quickly deflated by stubbornly high inflation. He and his party bore little responsibility for the problem, which largely stemmed from post-pandemic supply shocks, but to the public that hardly mattered. And there was the problem of Biden’s advanced age, which his team tried to deal with by hiding him from the public. By the time he bowed to pressure and ended his reelection campaign, it was too late: With no time for a competitive primary, the only plausible Democratic candidate was Kamala Harris, his vice president, who of course was synonymous with an administration many blamed for high prices.
Only three in 10 voters view the economy favorably—a number roughly similar to what it was two years ago. High on their own supply after winning back the White House, Republicans quickly forgot that they actually just got lucky. Voters were so frustrated about inflation and stubbornly high prices that they were willing to give Trump another shot; most of them, it seems, would have voted for anyone who wasn’t a Democrat. But Trump and his allies immediately turned to other priorities: ramping up a fascistic deportation regime, gutting the federal workforce, and launching an imperialistic wave of military bombings and interventions.
Trump, of course, simply chooses to ignore information that challenges his worldview. One of the biggest differences between his second term and his first is that he is surrounded by people at every level of his administration who have adopted a similar mindset. They are still behaving as if they have a mandate to reshape the nation, even though their support has rapidly collapsed. There is nothing that can restrain an administration like this, at least for now. But polls like this suggest a reckoning is coming, and soon. Trump is remaking the electorate again—by pushing voters into the arms of Democrats.
