This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

What a lot of centrists dont realize is that a lot of us supported them to keep the GOP fascism dam from breaking, but now that the GOP is essentially ripping every institution apart in the name of fascism, there is very little incentive for us to support them over their more radical counter-parts.

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”

The key strategy behind all of this is the irreversible erosion of critical thinking in enough of the voting population to make it stick.
Promoting AI, attacking education, removing agency empowerment, and increasing heath inequality are all strings added to try to make this bow more powerful

Trumpism is actually not about restoring good manufacturing jobs. Bringing mass scale toy manufacturing to the US (brutal factory jobs) while gutting unions/regulations (also core ideological commitments of Trumpism) is a recipe for drudgery and subjugation.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
