The stat is completely accurate and perfectly describes the direction the program is going.

the Epstein files played a large role. The war was also a major contributor

The Epstein files were another massive gift to the democrats. By 2025 no one on either side actually cared about Epstein, and the politicians on both sides knew there was nothing of substance left to be revealed in whatever files are left.

It was only when Trump and his team brought the files back into the spotlight and completely fumbled the optics, democrats got to stand on the sidelines and point out how shady the whole thing looks and claim Trump is hiding something.

Democrats claiming there was something massive hidden in the Epstein files was a complete bluff, and the republicans never called it, so the democrats won that battle.

would be ok with high crime and high poverty rates if we didnt do a blockade

The point is whether crime is high or low, the only people affected are the ones who are personally a victim of it, which is still a relatively small portion of the population in either high crime or low crime times. High prices affect literally everyone and everyone can see the high prices every single day.

To the average person who likely wont be a victim of crime either way, its hard to sell them on the idea that crime is down because it doesnt impact their day to day life anyway, unless they happen to be one of the unlucky ones.

if Trump doesn't pardon him

Thats a good point, all of these planned investigations are dead on arrival if Trump pulls a Biden and issues blanket pardons for everyone.

Dems really need to avoid the shiny hook to satisfy the very fringe leftist and try to get the same voters that got them this wave.

Its funny at this point republicans need a blank slate heading into 2028, so democrats would actually be doing a huge favor to the future republican party if they go scorched earth on Trump/maga and help clean the slate for them. The democrats are better off if there's still infighting between the remodeled republican party and the maga remnants heading into 2028.

Why did western/southern Illinois and parts of New England shift red?

Then there's stuff like DEI/affirmation meant to squeeze white men out of the economy so they are less likely to be able to afford babies even if they wanted to. The entire system is designed to hand control of the country to non whites. And its working perfectly right now.

the options to govern the country are limited between two poticial parties

Its not really all that different in countries that have more than 2 parties. All the parties ultimately form into 2 coalitions so you end up with a ruling party and opposition party either way. Our way just cuts out the part where the smaller parties merge into a bigger one but its still the same thing.

Import the 3rd world, turn into the 3rd world. There's really nothing except for drastically altering the demographic trends in the country that republicans could have ever done to ensure their long term success anyway. Trump 1.0 and 2.0 were both just kicking the can down the road but this was going to happen eventually anyway.

The masses from south america, the middle east and india will never share the same values as traditional Americans and only see this country as a piggy bank to be robbed blind.

The real losers are the children of Americans who've been here for generations, both white and black, the hoards mentioned above will not be kind to them.
