One of the very things the Democrats wanted to ride all the way to the White House was a ridiculous "insurrection" narrative.
In short, the Democrats mistakenly dedicated a large part of their campaign on one day in January, 2021 while essentially ignoring over 1400 days from January 20, 2021 to November, 2024. It was a bad investment.
The "save our democracy" and the "reproductive rights" issues consumed a huge portion of their ad budget and campaign narratives while an imagined threat to democracy by Donald Trump and the nationwide abortion issue were simply not predominant issues among the voting public. They failed to either see or to acknowledge that the economy and the border issue were the primary drivers that Trump was beating them on, and the mainstream media inadvertently helped the Republican cause by failing to call out that the Democratic emperor had no clothes.
In other words, the voting public was not buying it, and the Democrats badly mismanaged their failing campaign by stubbornly refusing to read the political tea leaves.
It will be interesting to see how many of our forum liberals will be able to actually acknowledge that.
