      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 …

      And yet it’s still pretty clear the GOP’s efforts to paint Democrats as “extreme” via whatever protests they may or may not have supported, or masking nonsense, worked and pushed Republican turnout, which was huge.

      GOP turnout driven by fact that Trump, via celebrity and persona, can reach marginal voters few other candidates can: hence huge surge of non-college voters.

      Why would that at be any different now vs 2016?

      Wasn't that different 2020 than 2016 except larger pool of voters (because voting made easier during Covid): in both elections Trump drew in many non-college voters and alienated college voters who went to Dems.

      The base that doesn’t believe in mail-in voting? I don’t think this makes sense. You also still need a large driver for turnout among non-college whites and Latinos, which Is why I’m suggesting what I’m suggesting.pic.twitter.com/yqheaJrAgJ

      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.
