It's more a complete repudiation of the Democratic party, and voters are agreeing that they are too far left. I disagree that the response should have been to give one individual essentially unlimited/now unchecked power to those on the far right (Super majority on supreme court full of his own appointees, control of house and Senate, plus governors), and ignore all the rhetoric and behaviors since 2020 by that individual. But nothing can be done about that now. We will have to wait and see just how much was rhetoric and how much is turned to policy. The country needs a true centrist, but that seems unlikely and perhaps will never come again. Time to double up on efforts to stack sats and increase personal control over data and communications.
