Better get used to it because these people are not going away and within six years may be bossing all of us around. I say this because it is obvious that D's have no clue how to combat disinformation and the fact that there is nothing R's won't do to win. Our messaging always sucks while R's will say anything. mean, the whole globe has inflation and ours is about the lowest in the world and the R's have not proposed one solution for it. Biden is the only one pulling levers (release of reserve oil). As far as crime, if you look at the top ten states with the highest murder rates, 8/10 are red states. Did you know that the city with the highest murder rate in California is a city in Kevin McCarthy's district?
We have already lost the war due to our ineptness. These two articles articulate pretty much what I have come to believe is at least plausible.
