From the NYT story:

 

Some Democrats hope that this is only a phenomenon of the Trump era, and that G.O.P. gains will evaporate once the president is no longer on the ballot.... But Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist who served as chief of staff to former Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who left the party last year, warned that such optimism was misplaced. 'Trump is the symptom, not the disease,” he said. “The disease is the fact that you have lost touch with a whole swath of voters that used to consistently vote Democratic.”...

 

The RedHawk’s/Roundy’s/Billshometime’s of the world cannot get their collective mind around this. That gives me a warm snuggly.

Is there a term for gaslighting even after the person already knows they were gaslit? This article though does explain the "journalist" thoughts well with two lines:

 

"I was and remain dumbfounded by that."

 

"An even sadder truth is that, faced with a choice between democracy and the promise of cheaper Doritos, America went with the Doritos."

 

This person is arguing that a true democracy is decided by the party, not by the people.

They're really trying to squeeze every last drop out of J6, aren't they?

Dude is preaching to an ever-dwindling choir with such nonsense. Hasn’t the “democracy at stake” bit been played out? I guess not for the writer, nedboi, or Redhawk. Sigh.
