I read all the way to the end of the comments before replying and I agree with most of the analyses. The voters are lazy and ill-informed, the right wing media has created a closed ecosystem where Democrats are evil, and Biden did good things but couldn't prevent the return of Trump. All with a generous helping of racism and misogyny which is keeping me at a slow burn of anger at my fellow humans. Can we also add in the erosion of public schools and the rise of homeschooling? I think the Democrats were lucky in 2020 since Trump screwed up COVID so badly that everyone voted to get him out. Maybe the DOGE crew and Vought will muck things up enough that it breaks the evil spell, but I'm not hopeful. Our only chance might be that Trump alone enchants the MAGAs and this will end when he does.
