While yes I'm sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means "vote for the party not in power". It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they're just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.

Ultimately though, it's on them. It was their responsibility to know what they're voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they're too incompetent to do what they want.

In the US, people are apparently convinced that every week, the president decides on the price of groceries, petrol and rent.

That's exactly it, unfortunately.
