About Trump getting elected

This post doesn't directly relate to brown girls, but honestly this election cycle confused the hell out of me and I kinda need to talk about it. Last time, when Trump was elected (at least in my experience), there was a very clear line between the left and the right, like pretty much every celebrity or mainstream figure being on the left and (at least in California like the bay) Republicans were this obscure group that wasn't really in view especially if you consume a lot of pop culture type media. I don't know if I'm describing it correctly, but, at least on the left, it was expressed to be very devastating and horrible. I remember every celebrity came out and made a statement about it and it just felt very heavy.

I don't know why, but it feels like this time around, there's way more support for him and idk if I'm expressing this correctly, but it feels like people who are kind of left leaning think it's more acceptable to be a Trump supporter. Like other than Billie Eilish and Lebron, no celebrities said anything about it and everyone just kind of moved on? Kim Kardashian just posted a picture of Melania and literally every big CEO was at his inauguration and like Jake and Logan were there - I feel like none of them would have been caught dead associating with him last time. I think things have also changed IRL. Obviously, the climate has changed like in terms of TikTok being a thing now and a bunch of redpill content being pushed by social media, and I guess that's radicalized younger men, but like I feel like this is very niche content that only impacts sad and lonely men. I've heard of fireworks going off at very left-leaning colleges, and I'm actually so confused. (There's probably better examples but I can't think of anything right now)

I understand that people have gripes about the economy/how certain political situations were handled with the Biden administration, but that doesn't take away the reasons people didn't like Trump in the first place. I feel like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle and I genuinely don't understand the shift that has occurred.
