If anything, I think the left decided there is no broadly defined group of people who are all evil and the right just cannot wrap their heads around that.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

There simply was no obvious, surefire winning strategy and it is amazing how many very smart people just refuse to admit that.
