As the presidential election approaches, Donald Trump intensifies his rhetoric against immigration and minorities, aiming to energize his support base. At recent rallies, he paints a bleak picture of open borders contributing to crime, framing Democrats as responsible. Experts note Trump’s strategy echoes past tactics focused on fear, particularly targeting white voters concerned about changing demographics. Additionally, he has launched attacks against transgender individuals, spending significantly on ads that appeal to conservative sentiments. As both parties leverage public fears, the effectiveness of these strategies in mobilizing voters remains uncertain ahead of the election.
