Trump and his fascists deserve most of the blame, but I fear that liberals won’t learn from this. Realpolitik is bullshit.

Facts don’t matter because those facts were used to gaslight time and time again.

The Democrats expended a ton of political capital bailing out the teamsters pensions and they didn’t even earn an endorsement from them.
Arizona had a ton of money and jobs pumped into it with the CHIPS act and it went for Trump.
Delivering on promises and improving people’s material conditions didn’t move the needle at all.
Voters don’t care about policy, they care about the President being a charismatic man who reminds them of their dad.
