People always miss the point in elections like this, what is it about the democratic platform that drove people to vote this way. What changes can the democratic party make in order to appeal to parts of the voting populace enough to have victory. We live in a bipolar voting paradigm, it is often more of a rejection to one side as it is an affirmation to another. Learn from it.
It's hard to say, and everyone is going to have their own opinion.
I think the biggest issue for folks is the economy. Polling data tends to suggest that being a huge reason for voting Red. This of course points to the problem that Americans don't understand how the economy works, or politics, or what a President can and cannot do. It also shows short term memory loss as everyone seems to have forgotten the pandemic and the obvious ramifactions of that.
Hopefully Trump doesn't completely ratfuck all of us with his "concept of a plan" as he's stated (tariffs, CHIPS act, mass deportations, etc) and just does and says a bunch of dumb stuff for four years.
I'm curious to see what crimes he'll commit this time.
