Because of culture war issues. My MAGA leaning friend (with a good heart, good work ethic, not trligious, and generous) is convinced that grade school teachers were grooming kids to question their sexual identities. He's convinced that he needs a loaded shotgun at home because 'all those criminals' are coming for him. He hates government intervention which protects his job. He hated the idea of wearing masks, even though his workplace has seen repeated waves of Covid.
Sigh. He's not alone. Ironically, he doesn't bother to vote, just rant, and I hope his cohort is mostly just like him.
Sadly, this phenomenon was occurring before Trump, and before Covid together metastasized these toxic brain cells.
Remember how George Dubyah Bush won a narrow re-election due in no small part to fear mongering the then nascent issue of gay people marrying, causing the pillars of the Republic to fall down upon our collective shoulders!
Also, Thomas Frank's "What's the matter with Kansas" tells a poignant and spot on tale of how a formerly progressive State morphed into a regressive red one.
Yeah! What's up with that? Why can they not see they have been voting against themselves?

Jews for Buchanan!
Hanging chads!
And if you were confused by the butterfly ballot, you were too dumb to vote.
