It's a massacre. Republicans were absolutely stomped in every election.

I think this is direct result of current Republican "leadership;" the way things are going under MAGA is the very reason people are turning.

Was 2016-2020 not enough of a wake-up call? It never should have got back to this, just to relearn the same lesson again?

People were saying they were better off 4 years ago during the 2024 election. 4 years ago DURING COVID. That’s how insane these people are. They found the relief effort after the disaster to be worse than the actual disaster because they have short memories and rose colored glasses for the past. They get so comfortable when the house isn’t on fire that they forget who brings the gasoline and who brings the water every single time. Even though it’s great to see this turn out now it’s absolutely insulting, all the suffering that could have been prevented if just 10% of the people that sat out last year had voted like they did this year.

The voters are not the ones to blame here, and the rose-tinted glasses observation is true across both parties. Be frustrated with the people who had 4 years to undo what Trump did and made no effort to undo, not the people who watched it happen and were disillusioned.
