3) Guns: while not mentioned much during the election the democrats are seen as anti-gun, which is contrary to what people want.
4) Social media has great influence on politics, especially with younger men: Trump and his cronies were quite active with podcasts and the like, but not the democrats.
C'mon, MrV. Alternative takeaways from the election:
1) People don't appreciate when a party keeps a mentally degraded person, who you wouldn't allow to babysit your grandkids, in office and the person who facilitated the act is then run as a candidate because the mentally degraded person finally was exposed.
2) People don't like leaving a billion dollars of weaponry they paid for in the hands of the enemy when bailing out of Afghanistan on short notice.
3) Skyrocketing interest rates and brutal inflation.
4) Lies about a global pandemic. Lies about how it began, lies about the efficacy of mRNA shots, lies about side effects, lies about millions of excess deaths worldwide.
5) Unparalleled censorship regarding both the mRNA shots and the laptop of the current president's son. Plus a lot of speculative fiction regarding the Orange Man.
6) Dudes pretending they are not dudes in women's sports, gutting Title 9 in an unexpected way and alienating many women from the "progressive party" that allows chromosomal dudes to batter chromosomal not-dudes in combat sports if they so choose, occasionally resulting in deaths. Rare events, but headline grabbers.
