You at first considered them somewhat traitorous. Now you say they are
somewhat foolish. Please try again. Give them some credit.
Why?
However, to the extent that you or anyone can consider them collectively
equal to the pro-Harris side,
Not equal.
the natural question is "WHY do they
prefer Trump."
Because they have bought into a con man's con.
Another side of the "con" is whether Harris is viewed as an agent of
change from the side of the Democrat.
The following article explains why "Long- and Short-Term Economic Trends
Spell Trouble for Harris."
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/long-and-short-term-economic-trends-spell-trouble-for-harris/"With about two weeks to go until Election Day, the prevailing feeling
among Democratic strategists seems to be one of growing concern—and for
good reason. The Democratic nominee, who has raised an unprecedented sum
of $1 billion in three months’ time, has not been able to capitalize on
the fact that she is facing an extremely polarizing opponent whom she
handily bested in the only presidential debate of this most regrettable
of election cycles.
..
Yet recent economic indicators point to a souring mood among the
electorate—bad news for Harris. A recent Bloomberg News/Morning Consult
survey shows that voters in swing states see the economy as the most
important issue—and by a wide margin. A poll of 6,165 registered voters
conducted in late September shows that 39 percent of those surveyed say
the economy is the top issue, followed by immigration (13 percent),
abortion (11 percent), and democracy (10 percent).
Several factors likely are at play here. ...
Longer-term trends also point to growing disquiet among working and
middle class voters. The Democratic donor base and the political class
that feeds off of it might be surprised to learn that the country they
have led for 12 of the last 16 years has a Gini coefficient (a measure
of income inequality) on par with El Salvador and greater than that of
China and Russia.
Inextricably tied to measures of inequality is the growing gap in the
mortality rate between college-educated and non-college-educated
Americans. ...
Meanwhile, rates of intergenerational mobility have collapsed in recent
decades—regardless of whether or not one has a degree. ...
Indeed, multiple studies have shown that over the past 30 years,
beginning with the neoliberal, anti-labor policies put in place under
Bill Clinton, the U.S. has developed (or, more accurately, devolved)
into a kind of Vulture Economy, whereby those in control of the
economy’s commanding heights have resolved, using every means at their
disposal, to pick clean the bones of everyday Americans all the while
telling them that they’ve never had it so good."
