The incumbents are losing to whom? Certainly not their own parties. You bring up the UK which is an outlier of recent events, but was a predicator of the future with Brexit during their right wing shift. Brazil could be another, but Bolsanaro is still an active threat as are his supporters.

But sure, just say “cope” and it automatically makes my comment wrong and yours right!

What word describes what you’re doing better than cope? You’re coping with the embarrassment of what your country’s becoming. Which would be fine, but trying to make it be about other countries rather than facing up to it, that just makes you part of the embarrassing state your country is in.

And yeah incumbents losing is a well known thing… here’s a link to the first article on the results from a simple search: abcnews.go.com/538/…/story?id=115972068

Also here in Canada, the Conservative poll numbers are dropping like a rock. The Conservative are now running a ridiculous number of adds to try to claim Carney is the same as Trudeau because they got nothing other than the incumbent disadvantage that’s become the global norm. The US idiocy is serving as a cautionary tale and making people turn away from anything resemblance of it.
