As counties moved right on Election Day, the NBC News Home Buyer Index shows those with tough housing markets shifted more sharply.

Summary

America’s housing crisis is influencing voting patterns, with tough housing markets shifting significantly toward Donald Trump.

An NBC analysis found that counties ranked in the top 10% for home-buying difficulty shifted 4.5 percentage points toward Trump, compared to a 3.1-point national median.

High housing costs in states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania turned many counties into political battlegrounds.

Experts argue that financial hardship and skyrocketing housing prices fueled economic discontent, creating a disconnect between Democratic messaging on economic progress and voters’ lived experiences.

    There’s the Trumpist Republicans, who are unified and devoted, but then there’s everyone else.

    Ftfy, there is no such thing as a good Republican, there was decades of bullshit from them that led us to this point and they’ll be fascist scum after Trump is gone. Anybody who can’t admit that simple truth is either too dumb or too cowardly to be given political power.
