#1 vaccine mandates. the media stopped talking about it so we're supposed to pretend it never happened, but to the people injured by it they will never forget. people lost their homes, businesses, jobs, etc. people don't quickly move on from you ruining their lives, even if you'd like to forget. it also flipped influencers like rogan who resented being censored and threatened. #2 leave sleeping dogs lie. people like the amish, who wanted nothing to do with politics were attacked by a democrat governor until 160,000 of them in a key battleground state of pa decided to vote for the first time in 150 years. people like tulsi and rfk were on your side until you refused to give them a seat at the table. you made a powerful enemy of elon musk, the socially liberal, carbon neutral, electric car guy. all because you decided it was more important to please a few no name college kids butt hurt about him making a mean tweet than keeping the world's richest man on your side. the concept that anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% must be destroyed creates enemies where there don't need to be any. politicians need to build a coalition, not seek to prune heretics from their midst. maybe learn to accept people who are only 95% on board with your agenda. #3 you spent too much on 2020 and had nothing left for 2024. you acted like 2020 was the final battle at the end of time and burned every resource you had to win. by the time you got to 2024 your own people were saying to fuck off, they aren't doing that again. businesses are still hemorrhaging cash and the supply chain is still fucked. the media burned the last of it's credibility. people lost faith in the media, police, and glowniggers. you went all in on one battle you thought would end the war and were too exhausted to put up a real fight after that.
