You're twisting yourself into pretzels by saying that "more people are turning left" but that Republicans are winning the votes of people who are turning left because Dems aren't left enough, and they hate "the capitalist class" even though Trump aligned himself explicitly with the capitalist class. All you have is a hammer, and you're spending your time passionately arguing that something that doesn't even come close to resembling a nail, actually is one. It doesn't add up.
I strongly doubt that outside of some voters in Dearborn, there are very few former Dem voters going for Trump this cycle in order to "punish" the party. There are probably a lot of voters who either stayed home or abstained/voted 3rd party at the top of the ticket due to their disgust with Kamala's turn to the center and waffling on genocide.
As for billionaires, this is incredibly simple. Dems have a base that is put off by such ties, Reps do not. Many Americans did not vote in 2024, and although we cannot confirm it, how many were possible D voters who sat out due to D ties to billionaires? A R voter who is deciding between Trump or the couch is significantly less likely to have a hostile view of billionaires.
