>>22049409This entire cycle has been incomprehensible to me
I've been following politics longer than I care to admit and every partisan swing I've seen in the past has seen the losing party get STRONGER almost immediately, they go back to the drawing board, come up with some new dirty tricks to counter the ones they just lost to, and usually do better the next election.
It happened with Newt Gingrich, it happened with John Kerry, it happened with Obama and McConnell, it happened with Trump, frankly it even happened with Biden - dragging out the fossilized white dude and selling him as Ole Scranton Joe, paragon of experience and stability, was not a *terrible* political decision post-2016.
This is the first time I've ever seen a whole political wing lose and double down and it makes me wonder if the internet is making delusions in direct conflict with reality like "everybody loves the federal government" more commonplace
