Sure is!.. and deciding to change candidate without a democratic primary was part of finding that out.

Gen-Z men also shifted towards Trump.

So progress is unfortunately not linear, but can slip back to darker times. Which is not great.

Edit: Also, though I think lots of Trump voters vote for him because he's unusual. They see him as a vote against the usual. Against establishment candidates, and against the standard social-political contract. So establishment candidates being disconnected from what voters actually want is a big part of it.
