    I also don’t know anything about the guy other than what I’ve heard on podcasts and so on in the last 24 hours.

    That said, he does seem to have a well established ability to woo voters from further into the conservative end of the spectrum than other progressives.

    For example, as @Sterile_Technique@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world said, “Gun owner, hunter, and veteran: understands guns. Supports gun control.”

    He also really cut through with the “creepy & weird” thing. Listening to the way he talks, and the way he frames things, he seems to have an ability to speak to people in a way that resonates with them.
