    but I think a lot of MAGAs are just fed up.

    Yes, hence why they are staying home. They are too brainwashed to break their programming & vote for anyone aside from another GOP scumbag. They will also vote for JD Vance in lockstep in 2028.

    The independents however, are done. That’s why you’re seeing huge swings in “blood red” districts in TX & LA. Turns out appeasing the most deplorable 25% of the electorate and screwing over the other 75% after telling them bold-faced lies doesn’t get people to the polls to vote for you.

      There are more self-described Independents than either party. Nobody ever wins with just the votes of their base. They HAVE to win the Indy vote, too, and that’s much more difficult. Piss them off, and you’re toast.
