And yet the American voters did NOT rise up and vote the scum out of the swamp in undeniably large numbers. Stockholm syndrome perhaps? Have said for decades that it’s difficult to decide whether it’s the far right or the far left that should be feared more. Looks like folks voted for the status quo this time around for that very reason, gridlock protects them from both extremes. Or so they believe. As more become accustomed (or acclimated, pick your fav) to soft communism, the world around them becomes like a crab in the stockpot...raise the heat a little at a time and what’s coming won’t be noticed. As long as no one of consequence does anything to stop the boil, welcome to the new crab stew. Bon appetit my friends.

If a majority of right-thinking people marched to the polls and voted Republican, the story goes, the Democrat cheating would be useless.

But a majority of right-thinking people don't like Republicans any better than Democrats, for a variety of reasons. The brand is badly damaged.

Trump succeeded in 2016 in spite of being a Republican, not because of it. Kari Lake lost a very winnable election against a faceless capital letter (D) because she embraced the Republican label, only to learn the party elders distrusted her and did not have her back when the inevitable fraud occurred.

To defeat the collectivism ascendant in Western politics, a new movement is needed, one that appeals to disaffected voters from both parties. The Left recoiled in terror from Trump/MAGA - fearing it was just that movement - but Trump's allegiance to the damaged (R) brand has cost him a lot of support since 2017. Notice how they never attack Trump for any part of his popular 2016 campaign platform - but they constantly attack him for the perceived sins of the Republican brand.
