I'm pretty sure one major reason Trump won is that he wasn't in prison. Which is fucking weird since he tried to overthrow the country!

And Democrats lost because no one wanted to vote for them.

I have a big hunch that Trump never went to prison because the Democrats wanted to run against him again. Surely if we fucked around again, we wouldn't find out twice, right?

And why did no one want to vote for the Democrats? The lies and propaganda.

And here again jumping to conclusions that are undue. Lies are hard to keep and you over extend their effectiveness. People want to believe them if they offer no followup and the lies could be cleared by a level of direct action in the public eye.
There are ones that are malicious and meant to eat at the more readily willing broken people, but that's also a difference in who each party is searching for and cultivating.

The centrists and liberals have absolutely stretched so far thin their generosity and miracles of modern society that people don't feel them anymore and yet the baggage is still felt.

No one wanted to vote for the Democrats cause people are tired of the weight and want to feel free of it even if it's falling to their doom from the floor dropping out. Now it's a game of chicken for which party actually starts pushing real change first. And if the people stuck in the middle will freak out before getting pancakes by both.
