My take: The GOP base always votes and with participation down, the base won. 5-10M more votes, which would still be less than 2020 and Harris would have prevailed. The wins in Wisconsin were due to fairer reapportionment. No western democracy government has stayed in power whole post COVID because of inflation and unemployment. 80 percent of Trump voters were white. The economy. White privilege. And youth that stayed home over Gaza, Climate, and Student loans are why we have President-elect Trump. Bernie is full of shit. Harris ran ahead of him in Vermont.
Come on my podcast to discuss all this?

Exactly what I needed to read on this Saturday morning.
Very thoughtful and cogent column. Recognizes that we only have ourselves to blame but that we can also look inward to move forward.
