The Republicans did not win the midterm election in November.
The Democrats lost that election because voter turnout was abysmally low, and millions of working people, minorities and young people gave up on politics as usual and stayed home.
“Today’s Republican Party…is an
insurgent outlier. It has become ideologically extreme; contemptuous of
the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise;
unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and
science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition,
all but declaring war on the government.“ .. (Thomas Mann)
