Yeah, I agree with this.
In the past decade, we've seen Reagan's "government IS the problem" thesis statement become the foundation of the GOP -- i.e. burn down the government. Trump famously appointed cabinet leaders who were hostile to the very mission they were assigned to do... Ben Carson was hostile to housing poor people, Rick Perry wanted to abolish the Department of Energy, billionaire pyramid-scheme heiress Betsy Devos wanted to make it much easier to divert funding from public schools, etc, etc.
I mean, the animating get-out-the-vote causes for GOP voters in 2020 either didn't actually happen (a laptop that doesn't seem to have actually existed at all, a totally fucking fictional crisis about massive voter fraud, all kind of pizzagate and Jewish-space-laser Qanon shit), or had arguably zero impact on real-world problems (Hillary's emails from more than a decade prior). Before the 2022 midterms, conservative media went on a massive blitz covering an ominous crime wave that was exaggerated or misrepresented (i.e. the spike happened under the Trump administration). At the very least -- just like Bush's red/yellow/red/yellow/red/yellow terror-o-meter in 2004 and the migrant-caravan-coming-to-kill-us-all in 2016 -- right-wing coverage of this "crime wave" (if it was even a real thing) clearly disappeared the day of the election.
The GOP bemoans lack of support among young people, while simultaneously their 2020 national platform was literally "we agree with anything Trump says."
Really, they're doing remarkably well in elections despite their lack of solutions, because highly coordinated propaganda works great on angry old people (many of whom have spent the past two decades mistaking it for news). On younger adults, not quite as much.
