Kamala's tailored campaign message and ground game didn't matter. Voters were unhappy with Biden and didn't want a 'regular' politician. They also didn't care about the infrastructure bill or the CHIPS Act—but they do care about demagoguery and grievance.
Sarah and JVL join Tim to take in the pain, but also to chart The Bulwark's next phase: doing everything we can to protect our country, our democracy, and our institutions.

... continued... For my position I expect the very worst and anything less will be a small bonus. Make hay while the sun still shines because all indications suggest that dissenters will be silenced. I'm afraid that the notion that America is land of the free no longer applies. Take care and good luck.
First time listener here from the UK. Arrived at your pod via the Atlantic while researching Anne Applebaum. I felt about as bad hearing your election results as I did when the morons in the UK voted us out of the EU and removed my rights to live within the EU. Your situation is hideous. I feel your pain. I don't think that Trump will be restrained I think the opposite. He will organise and has plenty of other fascists to assist. He will not now or ever concede the power he has gained.
Time to bury the "That's not who we are," cliche. Of course, it is. And we have been so since Jamestown, Indian genocide, Yorktown, Constitutional Convention, more Indian genocide, Sumpter, Appomattox, more Indian genocide, Reconstruction, anti-immigration laws, Jim Crow, fascists in the 30's, red scare Black Church bombings, assassinations, redlining, unequal schools. We do not have the courage or humility to face it, own it, ask forgiveness and reform. Trump made it ok to say that it's all ok.
Leon it's spelt Putin
what you put in me trump
Not only does Uncle Sam have no clothing it's boys pants half off. RNC PARTE
I think the big problem is Vance. think it highly likely that Trump won't make it through 4 years and Vance will take over.
