It's like arguing whether Smallpox is left or right wing.Serious question: is using tariffs to protect local industry not traditionally a left wing concept? I feel like unions and left-wing parties wanted to keep the auto industry going in Australia, for example, and it was the RWNJ's who decided it was okay to offshore this stuff because of muh free market. Then covid hit and many of us realised that we should probably have a little bit of local manufacturing independence instead of creating an economy that depends on outsourced slavery
It's really neither, just a relic of the distant past.
I'm sorry to say that this won't make a difference. Trump voters have rationalised the crazy and accept it.
Really think that most of them are like the Joker. They just want to see the world burn, because they don't recognise what it's becoming, and their insulated white world is collapsing on them.
This could be a big deal if the numbers are tight and Harris needs 1 more EC.

And it was John Button, a Hawke Minister who started the removal of automotive tariffs. Not really known as a "RWNJ".
I tend to agree but what I’m not seeing is Democrats and even undecided voters (unsure how anyone can say they’re undecided at this stage), moving towards Trump, whereas there seems to be a lot of longtime Republicans who are willingly coming out and saying Trump is unfit to serve and they’re voting for Harris. Maybe I don’t watch enough Fox?
Other than a few loonies, Tulsi, RFK Jr, they aren't moving to Trump.
It should all lead to a comfortable win to Harris, the fact it's going to be a squeaker is an indictment on the electoral college, given she'll win the popular vote by ~5m.

One thing I’ve noticed especially in this election is that conservative forums no longer post clips of Trump. In 2016 they did, cheering on whatever he said. But in 2024, even they know he sounds like a raging lunatic and no longer post direct clips of him speaking. It’s always sane-washed news articles or clips of Democrat gaffes.
This is probably why people leave his rallies early. It’s the first time they are actually exposed to him speaking.

Word salad one might say.
I thought it was disingenuous to post clips as they weren't representative of the whole.....or at least that's what i was told by prominent leftists on here when Biden was dribbling, and they wanted to try and excuse his decline.
Oh well i guess he just had a bad day.
