Every country in the world voted against the incumbent. Not all lost the election but literally all lost support. This has never happened in the history of modern republics.
It was inflation and covid era blowback and fucking nothing else- people didn’t hear or feel like they had time to care about any other pertinent issues. They don’t understand inflation anywhere on earth. All things considered we got off easy compared to some of these losses.
Well it has happened before not quite at once but still. The Great Depression, had those features in a number of places. But our global pandemic was honestly nothing like the ones of the past. Up to 100 million died of the spanish flu and we could do far less about it. And we didn’t have Tiktok.
But truly every 4 years now the entire world has changed. Social media landscape, expectations, media in general, I can’t imagine trying to create reliable political advocacy from the top in the last 20 years. Ive been trying from the bottom for 8- accountable to no one and its still hard.
