- The Voters Sitting This One Out
Over the past decade, Andrew Leyva shaded the space next to Donald Trump’s name each time it appeared on his ballot, trusting that a tough-talking businessman willing to challenge Washington would benefit working guys like him. Leyva, a 39-year-old who installs blinds in Arizona, voted to usher in the economic “golden age” that Trump so often promised. Leyva envisioned gas that cost $2 a gallon. Government spending would be cut. The influence of the wealthy and well-connected would be minimized. Regular people would finally get their say, and America would always come first.It didn’t take long after Trump’s second win for Leyva to realize that he had been duped. First, he said, Trump seemed to obstruct the release of the Epstein files, which didn’t live up to the MAGA-sphere hype when some of them were finally made public. Then the president did something he had said he wasn’t going to do: start a war. Leyva now spends nearly twice as much on gas as he did last year—sometimes it costs him $300 a week. I ran into him outside a home-improvement store in Scottsdale, where voters will decide one of the nation’s competitive congressional races. I asked whether he was planning to vote. “Hell no. I don’t think it matters,” he told me as he loaded blinds into his gleaming Toyota pickup. Trump was supposed to be different, Leyva said, but it turns out that he’s just as bad as every other politician. Leyva doesn’t think that he’ll ever vote again.I’d grown accustomed to this sort of response, given the many people who have told me over the past year about their deep distrust of America’s political system. They have no confidence in major parties or the voting process, and they believe that some sort of fix is already in. Their votes won’t make a difference, many told me, so why bother casting a ballot? For some, Trump was their last hope. They hadn’t typically voted, but they made an exception in his case. When he failed to live up to his promises, any expectation that voting could solve their problems evaporated.The Trump era has brought with it a paradox: Even as Americans say that they find politics to be more toxic than ever, more of them are participating; the 2020 election had the most voters in history, and more than 158 million ballots were cast. Republican nonvoters have been… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago
