Therein lies the problem. Even though they got the boot this time the damage they caused is done and any true repair will take a generation or two. Much longer than the 4 years Trump has available to him and that’s assuming MAGA can operate without partisan roadblocks and doesn’t take a hit in the midterms.

These leftists act like they’ve lost but they know they’ll still come out ahead in the end because they hit fast and hard. That causes a backlash of course but what they do is never completely undone.

Like chipping 6 yards with every play. Takes longer but they keep moving down field and the defense gets really tired.

Alternative take:
They spent their time punishing their political opposition, trying to erase American culture and values, opening the borders to the world’s poor, and raiding the treasury. They did exactly what they set out to accomplish.
