If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Just deleted Facebook, which was pretty easily done since I haven't used that shiz in a decade. Bluesky grant me the strength to leave ig and stick it to Zuck for real (reels)🙏

This take on what happened is vastly underrepresented out there compared to its likely proximity to the ground truth.
I wrote about the things I think are missing from the Dem discourse:
1) scope of the losses (you'd think this was 1984)
2) how media struggles to explain a second Trump win; easier to yell at Dems
3) there might not be a grand theory. it might be uninformed voters' vibes.

Decisive margin probably came from whims of low-information voters
Many swing voters only pay attention to politics long enough to cast their ballots.
