Okay, I'm not going to argue about this. The facts speak for themselves: Trump won the election convincingly. He won the electoral college and the popular vote for the first time, he increased vote share amongst almost all minority groups and amongst women.

You can simply be angry about that, you can satisfy yourself with the explanation that the people who voted for him are all stupid or racist or whatever else, in which case the same thing is almost certain to happen in four years with somebody who might be even worse than Trump, or you can try to understand, from a perspective other than your own, why this happened, why people feel the way the feel, and advocate for the changes necessary to stop it from happening again.

I understand the anger, I share the disappointment, maybe this is still too fresh for careful, introspective analysis. But if the Democrats don't dig any deeper than, "Harris did everything right," and "people should be happy to ration their eggs," I don't see the Republicans having a very hard time come 2028.
