I provided a simple and coherent response

It's one that shouldn't even have to be provided it's so obvious

Yet here you are trying to write the novel War and Peace trying to figure it out. The explanations are remarkably simple and yet you still can't comprehend them because you're overwhelmed with retard bias.

Maybe because voters attribute 2022 issues to COVID and COVID spending.

I would also add that 2026 was about more than just gas prices. Some of you need to figure this out quick or we will get pummeled again in 2028.

My thoughts are this:
From 2020-2022 the Dema did exactly what their base wanted them to do and moved their agenda along while they had power.
From 2024-2026 this set of republicans has done little in the way of affecting the base agenda outside of immigration. Costs continue to rise. We’re still saddled with Obamacare. We didn’t pass the SAVE act. We’re in another forever war…. The list goes on.
Hard to get a base excited to reelection you when they don’t think it’ll make a difference

What explains the difference in how voters assigned blame between 2022 and 2026?
Media told the low info voters everything was transitory and it was going to be alright!.

1. USSC overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. That was the major catalyst that caused the red wave to become a red trickle

2. Biden wasn't blamed for Covid-based Inflation via printing or inflation caused by supply chain disruptions during Covid

Compared to 2026:

1. There was no comparable catalyst to Dobbs in 2026.

2. Trump is 100% responsible for the inflation from Iran and failing to deal with Inflation (which he ran on)

But you've already exposed yourself for making an AI thread pretending for analysis when you shift to the "defending" NPC language immediately, and it's clear that you were just trying to call GOP voters stupid, which is ironic given there are 2 easy answers that refute your attempted point.

You’re not going to like the answer, but the biggest reason was retarded primary voters (MAGA) who nominated shite candidates that went on to lose numerous swing races. The Dems tricked MAGA by pretending to be afraid of these horrendous candidates when in reality they were funding quite a few of them. They used reverse psychology to get the weakest opponents possible and primary voters fell for it.

Here were just a few of the awful candidates in swing races:

Dr. Oz
Doug Mastriano
Kari Lake-Abrams
Don Bolduc
Herschel Walker
Karoline Leavitt
John Gibbs
Blake Masters
Tudor Dixon
Joe Kent
Tim Michels

For the few bad candidates that managed to win the General, they underperformed other Republicans on the same ballot.

JD Vance: Only won by 6% when every other state-wide Republican in Ohio won by at least 17%, underperformed the majority of Congressional Republican candidates in their districts.

Ted Budd: Underperformed Congressional Republican candidates pretty much everywhere in NC.

I think we really underestimate how little the average voter cares about the markets.

In 1980 the DJIA was up 15% and Carter got destroyed. In 1984 it was down almost 4% and Reagan damn near swept the map.

Think about it. Everyone who has money in the market already knows for whom they will vote. These people are relatively smart and have consistent habits. That’s why they have money in the markets.

This is 100% correct.
The problem with voting republican is generally Republicans run on the promises of less government control, yet when these clowns get in office, they get greedy and can't get enough of their new power and they never let the government get smaller.
Democrats want more control and their idiot voters buy into this and the Dems attempt to deliver

Then, as usual, the Republicans canibalized themselves by splitting into anti-Trump "moderates" and pro-Trump 'MAGA' candidates.. Nobody is buying their speeches anymore. Dem voters are energized because they know their candidate will push their agenda. The GOP agenda is to get elected and then immediately ask for campaign money


Hit the nail on the head.

I might add a few points.

Don’t forget how Obama divided the country and how complacent conservatives are.

Growing number of independents swing wildly with populist candidates.

And…hopefully we have seen the last of Masshole and the MTG types. They helped divide the GOP.

Always hilarious when someone who's hated Trump for ten straight years suddenly puts on the "concerned GOP strategist" hat. Save the fake advice nobody's buying the "we will get pummeled" routine.

Also, you might want to check a history book before spiking the 2028 football getting wrecked in a midterm doesn't mean anything two years later.

Obama lost 63 House seats in 2010 and cruised to reelection in 2012. Trump got wiped out in the 2018 midterms and still came back to win in 2024.

Winning a midterm because people are mad at gas prices and a Middle East flare-up is easy good luck holding that coalition together in 2028 when Dems actually have to pick a nominee and run on a platform instead of just being the protest vote
