In Italy voters have been electing one party after the other without consistency for the last several elections, which I would use as a point to general desperation and not feeling represented.
I would like to know how many other countries have a similar attitude, like "let's try these ones, we have not voted them yet so maybe this time it's better"
You have to always remember that about half the population has an IQ under 100.
And that the <100 half is much easier to herd.
Superficially smart, smug, supercilious and (ironic, eh) emotionally satisfying…but ultimately very foolish.
cuz that's what it's about: tribe
as Scott Alexander once said: "the ideology is not the movement" (it's the tribe as much as anything)

And that's what we got here in the US -- a conman ran a very successful con on people who just weren't all that smart or educated. And there were enough of those people to supplement the base tribalism and propel him to victory.
