"The MAGA faithful fervently pray for mass arrests in which the guilty will at last be separated from the innocent—a kind of secular Rapture." It was fine for Trump and the rest as long as the base thought only Democrats were the guilty ones.
The MAGA Revolution Is Eating Its Own
After years of stoking conspiracy theories, Trump and his allies now find themselves unable to dispel one.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

To dislodge the hold that Trump's corruption has on our government and restore the rule of law, Democrats will need to decide who they really are — and who they’ll fight for.
Liberal Elites Kicked the Door Wide Open for Trump’s Flagrant Corruption

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart.
In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.

And just now turning on news of election results. Wow wow wow.
(Showing restraint by not going into relentless "Dems in disarray" "Need a new message" MSM drumbeat.)
Congrats to all who stood up and stood together.
