We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. Take for example the fact that Trump made large gains among both Jews and Muslims in 2024. My explanation is that the war made both groups feel like Biden wasn’t biased towards their side enough, so they went to Trump.
People don’t vote for positions, they vote for emotions. If they’re angry, they vote to show their anger. And how does one show anger? By doing something irrational, like if you’re angry and you punch a wall, only hurting yourself. The American people were angry, and they expressed their anger with the voting equivalent of punching a wall and hurting themselves - voting Trump.
precise analysis, ty!
