I think there's a weird counter to this that people are in denial about the Democrats denial. Democrats have always been unpopular. Americans are conservative. I think people voted for Trump because Trump was able to convince them that Politics is easy, that strong men can fix everything, and Americans won't be convinced as easily to vote for Democrats. Trump will probably screw a bunch of stuff, and maybe Democrats run someone in 2028 that can recapture some of his constituency. That sure, they should and will make changes but the sad truth is the electorate will reward them for none of that, and that the electorate has taught Democrats that sad but real truth to just ride out Trump's failures, and hope to get lucky in the future. But I think this is true on both sides. I think Republicans are in denial that the wave they're on will survive the end of Trump. I think everyone underestimates Trump, the left, the right. Everyone seems to keep looking at Trump's numbers and for some reason coming to the conclusion that Republicans are popular outside of Trump, I remember talking to all sorts of people that said Nikki Haley would be the Republican nominee, because she was smart and good, and Trump would open his mouth and screw thing sup. For some reason, people seem to think that Republicans will do _better_ without Trump, and that's just as delusional as everything else. I |

If it wasn't Kamala or Biden, the Democrats may have won. But only if:
* They rejected the trans ideology (at least to the extent that they play in womens sports / be in women's locker rooms).
* get tough on crime
* get tough on immigration without some fake border bill
* get tough on drugs
* stay strong on environment
They would have won so easily.
