General Discussion

I don't know if anyone exists who the right will not label immediately as being the woke, DEI, open borders, etc leader. This is what the Republicans have done all the way back to Joseph McCarthy back in the 1950s. Maybe it works because they have no shame.

Given everything happening now why engage in accepting blame for that poll result. An alternative interpretation is that many are terrified (horrified) with where we are and are angry the Democratic party couldn't stop it. ( Consider those on the right are still in the "we won" euphoria backing Trump. Democrats and left leaning independents do not see the path out and thus have an unfavorable view of both parties. If this is the case, a head to head poll between generic Democrat and generic Republican would better assess if people have really moved from the Democrats.)

Not to mention, there are ongoing reasons that their brand will become toxic. They have President indicted for things that are or are close to treason, who was reelected in spite of this. That President pardoned people who beat police trying to defend Congress. That President has nominated a mostly unqualified cabinet that has already done things that would in any other administration be career ending and they've been there less than 3 months. Not to mention, Musk breaking things across the government with an assist from the cabinet.
