Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?

Dude straight up stole classified documents, "LOST" (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he ~~prayed~~ ~~declared~~ thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn't do.

To name a single instance.

People saw this as it played out and thought "well no red flags here, better go back to hating everyone that isn't me"

What. The. Fuck.

The vast majority of the dumbass shit the current administration is doing is the same dumbass shit they did the first time around, just faster and dialed up to 11.

Immigration enforcement in 2017 also directly impacted agriculture.

The security leaks, demonizing LGBTQ+ folks, wanting to disband agencies, pretty much all of it was tried the first time around and mostly stopped by lawsuits and the career conservatives that didn't want to rock the boat that much. The guardrails have been almost entirely removed this time around, so it will be the same stuff but worse and they knowingly voted for that because MAGA voters are terrible people who would rather hurt themselves than allow someone different to be treated equally.
