The post-election narratives blaming down ballot loss on activists outside the party have to be understood as a way for the consultant class (which made millions from losses) & sclerotic party leadership to deflect blame. Only suckers take it literally.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1337793595236114440 …
Voting turnout increased for all groups and in fact increased far more for anti-Trump voters than pro-Trump voters. It was a high-turnout election! But that also meant +8 Dem advantage of midterms turned to +4 Dem, which meant down ballot losses.

I mean yes, Trump was very disliked among left, and center. The anti-trump turn out was a given. What I think wasn’t, was the turnout for trump and Republicans generally. There’s something else that drove it.

Pro-Trump turnout was only surprising if you ignored evidence over last 4 years that he's very popular among GOP and GOP adjacent.
