So I like to watch the different news channels to see the takes from both sides and it was interesting to see Fox News actually blame the Trump extremism for what happened.
One thing they noted, which I think applies to either party, is that the ones who lost focused on the issues (inflation, crime, abortion) but did not really spell out how they would fix it so they didn't win any support. The ones who did have some type of plan/solution, were the ones who were able to win.
As in life/work, it's very easy to point out the problems... but it's the people who show you how they can be fixed that make things better.
