Is this enough to sway a guy like Alex Wacey? In theory, the 28-year-old from Philadelphia is the kind of voter the Harris-Walz campaign should be able to convert. He grew up liberal and dislikes Trump personally; he thought Harris came off as polished and professional at the September debate. But he’s also worried that her administration would spend too heavily on social programs, which — perhaps paradoxically, for someone in his situation — he does not support. Wacey says his wife walked out on him in 2022 and left him alone with their now 5-year-old daughter. “I’m not getting any child support,” he says. “If I were a woman, there’s no chance that would be the case.” So while he’s comfortable calling Trump a “buffoon,” he’s also thinking about his own bottom line. During Trump’s presidency, he says, “I was better off economically than I’ve been in the past four years.” The last time we spoke, he was resigned to voting for the Republican.

Seems like hate and victimhood would be two of the driving forces for these guys. Trump and the MAGA republicans are all about hating others (women, minorities, lgbtq people, etc.) and portraying themselves as victims when called out on their hate.
