I don’t think the GOP truly grasped how badly they were fucking up. I talked to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics, and they were legitimately pissed off. They didn’t see the major reform they expected, and they were REALLY MAD about it. No true accountability. No true mass deportations. No meaningful decrease in the deficit. Lots of very long vacations and no work. No bills passed that REDUCED the government’s involvement in their lives. People are pissed off that they voted Trump into office and the GOP kept slow-walking every reform they wanted. Where were all the DOGE cuts that were promised? Where was the SAVE Act? Why didn’t we defund the Taliban? Why did bills pass the House and then disappear in the Senate? Why did the GOP keep funding left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans? Why were members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations? People woke up, and they weren’t happy about it. People believed they voted for the Trump agenda, and instead, they felt like they got the same old Washington. Republicans in Congress didn’t produce tangible results, and they just discovered that frustration has consequences... ...but by the time they realized how deep-seated that frustration was, it was already too late. Republicans had EVERYTHING. The White House. The House. The Senate. ...and they totally blew it and people were pissed and voted like they were pissed, which sadly is the price of doing nothing when you had everything. Completely avoidable.
