Meh, I don’t even really buy into that. Yes there things Dems could’ve done better, or improved their messaging on, or whatever. But we already had a Trump term that was a total disaster, he left office with his approval rating in the dirt, a zillion election case losses and a bunch of injured Capitol police, and 4 years later a bunch of people convinced themselves (or got convinced by their favorite media outlets and podcasters) that Trump was actually super awesome and we needed him back.
Dems didn’t do that shit, gullible uninformed voters did that shit.
Why is it our fault that people don’t know how tariffs work, or how trade deficits work, or what DEI actually is and does, or how separation of powers work, or a million other things? Again, we can try and improve messaging, but a lot of these people won’t listen anyway, and didn’t. These people should blame themselves for being uninformed.
