Trump wins presidency for second time
Many have a very shallow understanding of policy and have also had their perspectives heavily influenced by propaganda from Fox News, etc. Ask the average Trump supporter how tarrifs work for a good example of what I’m describing.

The few policies that were campaigned on are going to be harmful and counterproductive. I'm inclined to agree with the propaganda angle.

Correct, most voters are making decisions based on emotions, and those emotions are heavily influenced by their information sources.
