Citizens vote for what speaks to their daily lives and fears. Not necessarily academic ideas or concepts.

They'll vote out of pain more readily than out of conscience.

How has that pain been alleviated by the current administration?

From the outside, it looks like the motivation of these voters was mainly to cause pain to perceived enemies. From my point of view, this is no longer just the effects of the two Santas strategy, this feels like it goes way beyond that.
