Many left-leaning political analysts say it's not so much that they wanted Trump, but rather they didn't want the Democrats. Like Dan Pfeiffer. His analysis was the Democratic brand is what enough voters voted against to give Trump his win. This accounts for the drop in turnout which was the greatest among Democrats.

This is definitely true for some of my friends in Miami. They hate the Democrats, and they hate all the woke identity politics, the gender ideology, the pronouns, the land acknowledgements, etc etc. They hated the student loan forgiveness too (so did my H and I due to the economic repercussions - those loans are 1/3 of the countryтАЩs assets). Anyway, the people I know in Miami were actually praying for Trump to die so they wouldnтАЩt have to vote for him. But they were going to vote Republican no matter what to keep the Democrats out of the WH.
I'm so sick of people who complain about "wokeness" or the BS pronouns that neither the Gov't NOR the Democrats had ANYTHING to do with! Who the fuck cares? Why can't people just mind their own damn business, as Tim Walz would say?
A lot of people care and they voted for Trump as a result. The Democrats did nothing to stop any of that ideology and the Democrats are heavily into identity politics. The Democratic Party has CRT and DEI stuck all over them like a car with a million bumper stickers all over its rear end. Most people hate that stuff, and until the Democrats put out that fire they will continue to lose major elections. The ones who win are either in safe districts, like AOC is, or theyтАЩre moderates who distance themselves from the rhetoric (and prove that distance to their voters). Tim Walz was the most ineffective VP candidate IтАЩve ever seen. His only job was to keep the far left on board and he lost 7 million of them. Fail.
Incumbents lost the world over. Democrats did remarkably well by comparison, mostly because Trump in particular was so beatable. I do agree that Dems have a huge brand problem that may have kept them from eking out a rare incumbent win.
