The number of Bernie Sanders supporters who have gone MAGA is most likely a sliver of the electorate. But they illustrate an important pattern in U.S. politics, political scientists say, one that might help explain Donald Trump’s success with young men in particular.

He is a Russian asset, and the GOP's puppet, a man of the people solely for that one person occupying the vacuous gelatin between his shoulders.
Young fools threw their vote at the greater evil and will see themselves, and us, pay dearly for it.
This is not news.
The only reason for the manipulative winning the elections are the autocratic rats Trump and Musk.
Absolutely not Sanders.
Sanders is a pure good social worker with his heart on the good side.
Trump and Musk absolutely not.
The oligarchy must be destroyed and its tools of manipulation and control all broken.
The one thing he has been truthful about, our societal demographics are changing, and so is the power structure, but only a racist would find that to be an issue
And what does this tell us about the other 9?
(Those aren't exact numbers--NPR is rounding--but it does take all of the steam out of the point you thought you were making).
I seem to recall, also, that there were some voters who went from Obama to Trump.

"Fascism can be defeated, but not when we are on its side."
Fucking Bros are delusional cultists just like MAGA.
The people they voted for were born into wealth and elite status, they have never had to work a regular 9-5 job because they always had money and never struggled
😑
*sips from tequila mug*
this is guaranteed to turn into an entire book
Ask yourself: How does working class people go from supporting Bernie to supporting MAGA?
Because they've been shafted by the Democrats too many times.
These “switchers” are just lost souls who are vulnerable to misinformation and anarchy baiting.
Trump & Musk and their band of grifters are regular people? What a con job.
Either they're a liar or really not that smart and don't understand politics
Who is going to tell them they are victims?
This is a party that hilariously tried to use Latinx
I’m not going to try to get into other peoples heads but trying to hear them and not fake spokespersons anymore

People looking for a politician to solve their problem might be swayed left to right
Many people vote of optics and vibes or as a protest
