The problem is that swing voters focus on only one issue, and it's the issue that impacts them the most. It might be just the genocide in Gaza and how the current administration is handling it. Or might be just healthcare. Or just women's rights. Or the economy. They don't seem to look at the big picture and can't weigh their personal feelings against all the issues as a whole. They can't say "I'll take a hit on the economy if women's rights and abortions are better for the people as a whole ". It's often what impacts them most. From what I've read, the economy is the biggest issue and as long a they think they might be better off with Trump, they'll vote for him, regardless of the impact to everyone else.
I'd agree if every single example you pointed out wasn't gonna be handled better by the dems. And I don't take Gaza as a good example either, because wanting a change in how it's handled by electing someone who fucking despises muslims and would love to see em eliminated, is beyond description.
Like here, point by point, skipping Gaza as I already mentioned it. Healthcare - Wants it gone. Women's rights - Wants em gone. Economy - Wants to sanction every import, AKA basically everything, AKA wants it gone.
Small picture - He fucks up everything, for his personal gain. Big picture - He fucks up everything, for his personal gain.
It's not that deep, he isn't even pretending to hide his intentions anymore! It's not a protest vote if the only way to undo the damage from set vote would be total war. "Owning the libs" doesn't meat shit if it's at the cost of your own family.
