Democrats and the mainstream news media are still sorting through the wreckage of the 2024 election, seeking some insight into why and how Donald Trump and his MAGA movement were able to win both the popular vote, the Electoral College and control of both chambers of Congress. It has been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote and the Electoral College.
When I imagine the Democrats and mainstream news media trying to figure out how they got this all so wrong, and the implications for their grand error, I visualize them as something like the FAA officials who sort through the debris of a plane crash, picking up every bit of wreckage and then reassembling the plane somewhere else.
