I pointed out in the past that post-COVID inflation had battered incumbent parties across Europe so it was my primary concern with America, I don't see why America would be any different in that regard. Even parties that still won their elections in Europe suffered significant hits. People are hurting to afford basic goods and the party in charge receives the blame.
Hit Japan too whose economy is taking a beating lately, Japan's LDP lost their parliamentary majority for the first time since 2009. Right wing parties have swapped to left wing parties and left wing parties have swapped to right wing parties all across Europe, Lol. Tories (right wing) in the UK lost a 14 year old rule to the centre-left Labour, Poland's PiS lost power after 8 years. South Korea's liberal opposition party won a landslide majority. Incumbents are being absolutely hammered across the world, it's less a right/left thing and just who is currently in power.
