You’re analyzing this wrong. Trump has the edge among “non-activist” citizens: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/29/politics/turnout-2024-electio...

Trump’s authoritarianism appeals to people who feel that he can control the various unelected people they feel have too much power over their lives and society: career bureaucrats, corporate HE, NGOs, universities, etc.

Remember the 2017 “Resistance” against Trump? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/resistance-from-with....

This revealed that no matter which party wins the election, the fourth branch of government is staffed and run by Democrats. All the three letter agencies are staffed by 95% Democrats. And people think that Trump can bring them to heel.
