The 'progressives' who voted Democrat remind me of abusers who punched their SO in the face and then got angry that they broke their hand.
For four years the vast majority of voters got poorer. Then, they ran Biden knowing his brain wasn't working and when he embarrassed them, they crowned a weak candidate who looked at all of these poorer people and said she'd change absolutely nothing. Even worse, she told them to be joyful about it. Just absolute political stupidity.
Trump did not broaden his coalition on extremism. He broadened it on Democrats' political priority to give more money to the rich at the expense of the poor. It's just stupid politically to be seen rooting for people's misery, because those votes are ripe for the picking thanks to Trump's unilateral wrecking of the economy.
The message shouldn't be: "Your vote was stupid and we hate you." It should be: "Hey, there's an election next year, and if you vote for us we'll fucking stop this shit." (Granted, that's hard to believe watching Schumer and co do nothing, but that's still the message they need to run with.
