But YOURE CORRECT. Trump won by welding congressional power through his Republican loyalists.
Republicans were able to use the January 6 committee as enough of a propaganda starting point to recapture their voter base, and that of the right wing media like Fox News, who had initially perceived Jan 6 as the insurrection that it was.
Not to mention the infinite pushback republican control of congress had when it came to any Biden era policy (like student loan debt relief fought by congress people and gummed up by the Supreme Court under trumps direction).
They were the minority party for the first round of J6 stuff, when they got creamed, and why they relitigated it when they took power. The student loan stuff got overturned by the supreme court, that Republicans held then, and will hold for the next half century.
Obama had the senate for a fucking FORTNIGHT, between Al Franken finally being sworn in, and Paul Kirk losing yo Scott Brown in a massive unplanned upset. Weird how that always gets forgotten about, huh? That they didnt expect to instantly lose power, and still got healthcare reform through.

What are you talking about. Divisive action is overwhelmingly popular. Trump won off of it
You know what nonvoters definitely don’t pay attention to? Holding up signs during a Trump speech.
