    There was a lot more demonstrations and outrage during Trump’s first term. I think now everyone is just exhausted and over it. Dems got beaten pretty bad in the election, and are probably very demoralized after this outcome. Maybe it will add up to a landslide in the next senate/congress election, maybe not.

      They weren’t beaten badly, it was barely a 1.5% margin. Electoral votes….different story. But even then, this illustrates that a few more votes in key states would have had a drastically different outcome.

        I think they mean “beaten badly” as in “lost control of all three branches of government” not so much “Trump landslide vote.”

        The person you responded to even said “Dems got beaten pretty bad” not “Harris got beaten pretty bad.”

        By the metric of losing the house, losing the senate, losing the judiciary, and losing the presidency is a pretty deep blow.
