Just wondering....any credible sources for actual 2024 Trump voters?

Like to know why they voted for a 34x time convicted felon, whose last administration can take credit for 300,000 Americans who died from Covid. What were you thinking when you voted for him again?

The main demographics are immigrants from the Mideast and Central America.

My theories:
1. The Middle Eastern/American voters were mad at Joe Biden because of Gaza and still wanted to vote. However, they didn't know much about Trump, and they figured "Anyone's better than Joe Biden."

2. The Latin Americans liked Trump being the Mucho Macho kind of guy. He fit in with their original culture. And they really believed that he's a devoted Christian.

I would love to understand the Hispanic voter. Why would they vote for a guy that is declaring social war on your identity?

And it really boils down to name recognition, dumb as that sounds. They hear all this talk about Donnie, they figure he's da man.
