Political Realignment Trends
Political parties are experiencing a significant realignment with unexpected shifts in voter demographics. The 2016 and 2020 elections highlighted surprising movements among constituencies, including Hispanic voters leaning towards Donald Trump. There has been a major change in views on trade with Democrats showing increased favorability towards trade during the Trump presidency. The realignment is driven by cultural and identity-based changes rather than solely economic or racist factors.
