Voters just returned power to the political party that created the problems we are currently experiencing. How do people vote for individuals with known antisemitic, anti-American views?

I accept that anybody meeting the qualifications may run for office, but these newest politicians have no proven experience and are motivated by something other than improving the quality of life of voters.
