Describe a Clinton/Biden/Trump voter in Iowa

[Tekken_Guy]

Describe someone from Iowa who voted against Trump in his first two runs but for him this time.

[Mr. Third-Wayist]

Traditional Republican who voted for Clinton in 2016 and was gonna vote for Trump till Covid hit

[Respect and Compassion]

Simple: A voter (more likely to be a noncollege white, more likely to be younger) who fondly remembers their financial situation being better under Trump than it was under Biden. They'd be ideologically closer to the center (or some incoherent "I like some things about both sides") than to the left. It's also possible that even if they haven't ideologically shifted, that they don't like the immigration situation, the foreign policy situation, and Biden's stances on certain social issues which were less clear in 2020 than they are in 2024. They may have expected much less chaos under Biden than what they are currently witnessing.

It's also possible they have genuinely shifted to the right in the last four years for various reasons.

Realize that when you participate in online political discussion spaces, you're mainly participating with ideologues and partisans rather than the relatively non-ideological non-partisan Americans who mainly comprise the group that swings to the other side from one election to another.

Someone who was a fairly disengaged Democrat who has been radicalized rightward by one of the many culture war issues of the past couple years.

A woman with an abusive MAGA husband who just now found out she never voted for Trump and is under threat of physical, financial or emotional harm if she doesn't vote for Trump.

Number one, I've encountered a voter out canvassing saying that she had to discuss voting with her husband. Number two, I had an angry husband scream at me over the phone that his wife was voting Republican (even though she was on a Democratic voting list) which is probably normal behavior for you, but struck me as strange. Domestic abuse is not "woke" and exists on many fronts.
