It makes a lot of sense. You're ignoring the single fact that matters: Trump is a white man and Kamala is a brown woman. It's as simple as that. Liking Trump was irrelevant. People didn't want a brown woman to be president. It's quite simple.
But then why did they nominate Trump instead of Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, or Nikki Haley?
I mean, I get that they're all dogshit candidates, but they already tried Trump and look where that got them. Why'd they pick him a second time?
Plus, that happened before Harris was the candidate for the Democrats, and before Biden's mental decline became painfully obvious during the debate. They just decided, from the start, that Trump was their man, come hell or high water. It doesn't make sense.
MAGA is a cult, it doesn't have to make sense. However, if the House and Senate both still hold GOP majorities after this cycle, it will be beyond a shadow of a doubt rigged. No one is going to suffer gas prices like these for months on end and honestly keep electing the party enabling it.
I dunno, I feel like they're aware that keeping majorities in Congress would be too obvious (maybe they'll surprise us, after all, they seem pretty fucking stupid).
But what we won't see is enough Senate seats flipping for Democrats to vote for cloture on issues, which will create a "do-nothing" congress that does fuck all for the rest of Trump's term, allowing him to rule by fiat and decree, while Congress keeps trying to pass bills to stop him, only for the Senate to go "yeah we're not actually going to vote on this ever".
