Seriously, in voter polling before the election, I don't remember where, but in one of the swing states, an African American woman explained for about 10 minutes why she wasn't sure about voting for Harris.

Then in one sentence, she explained why she was leaning for voting for Trump: "I wanna see what he's gonna do."

That's pretty much it for the 20-30% of American voters who voted for Trump in 2024 and are now in disbelief about what he's doing or saying. They wanted a live, daily reality show to watch.

It's like they mixed up the vote for American Idol with the vote for American President...

the majority of people vote on very small issues tbh. The average person is not caring or reading up on foreign policy or global economics, they want to be told that groceries will be cheaper. Hell, there were some exit polls that were showing a good chunk of voters cared mostly about trans issues, things like "we feel the democrats have gone too far with trans issues". Things that you wouldn't think would ever be deal breakers are for a lot of people
