Some of it is due to that liberals are aging out and dying.
Every year, Republicans get about 0.5% more electable. This will be the way it will be for at least 20 years if Democrats repudiated abortion today.

Don't forget redistricting and the massive loss of Virginia state government in court.
That loss plus the SCOTUS ruling on VRA finished off the Democrats.

This data probably assumes an even playing field instead of epic Democrat cheating.

You’re not going to win every battle yet, but while the Democrats may have finagled 10 seats in a few states, Republicans did something like 26 seats.

while this information is useful to know, don’t make the mistake of treating one comparison of two election predictions 8 years apart as highly significant. There are always other factors going on.

Other factors like Trump totally outmaneuvering the Democrats in redistricting?
And winning the VRA war at SCOTUS?
