Luigi Mangione is the median American voter

They’re confused because they still believe the dominant divide in US politics is liberalism v conservatism. It’s not, and it hasn’t been for some time. Increasingly, even if they lack the exact language to explain it, voters do not identify foremost as Democrats or Republicans, progressives or traditionalists, or even left or right. They identify as pro-system or anti-system.

I feel like there are very few people who are truly "pro-system" (mostly just the super rich)... Even in the pro system category I'd say the majority aren't pro system so much as they believe the system is broken, they just also believe the system can be fixed while playing within the rules of the system itself.
