    Maybe they voted against the incumbent

    I wouldn’t be so confident about assigning such motivation.

        So then the trend is getting reder with time then? I don’t see your point.

        It’s not saying 100% of people always vote red. But the majority have for a VERY long time.

      In that one case, they’re a pretty consistent electorate. The general sentiment across America and around the globe since the post-pandemic inflation crisis began has been anti incumbent, which is why we see a lot of changed governments and populist uprisings now.
