Interesting question on what ultimately drives a voter’s decision. In the past, it likely boils down to how a voter feels about their economic situation and a sense of the candidates’ economic vision/policies going forward. Observing the last two elections, I suggest that votes will be more influenced by concerns over the direction of the country. Those swayed by conspiracy theories and fears over a deep state will vote for Trump. Those worried by retraction of women’s right to choose, biased Supreme Courts, the erosion of the constitution, and religious views creeping into their freedoms, will vote for Biden.
The term "deep state" is a scare tactic but concerns that the bureaucracy may be resisting the democratically elected government have existed since at least the Carter days. This isn't surprising since bureaucrats have their own political beliefs which may not align with those of the sitting administration and they also have their "little empires" to protect.
Conservatives certainly have their fair share of conspiracy theories but don't discount the ones on the left. They include: progressives were the first antivaxxers, Trump is/was a Russian asset, and the Hamas attack was a false flag operation by the Israelis.
Everyone thinks the SC is biased but seem happy when it's biased in their favor. Personally I think the court is more professional and unbiased than either Congress or the Presidency. At least they have to explain their rulings. We may not disagree with all of them but the logic is put forth for everyone to see.
if abortion was at the top of the list, things would change in a positive direction....this is like trying to lose weight by focusing on calorie counting, instead of what you are eating.....if you eat lies you will have an immigration problem forever....you have lost the plot! added value is created when you create something from nothing, from an idea...which helps solve problems. if you start making problems to solve them then you are subtracting the value. Abortion is one step in the direction of creating problems in society: a society that can not cope with tough choices. if you start killing one cell by one of your body...immigration will take over the place you did not care to protect, i do not have to remind of 60 mio children killed every year in the world.....so why not reduce the number of 25-45y olds? elderly? to fix the retirement system gap. when life is commodity....thats called slavery! and that is much bigger issue then immigration
