As we know, libs refuse to believe their system does not work. However, they also believe that it shouldn't be possible to elect someone like Trump in this system. They don't know how to reconcile this contradiction.

Last two elections there was the constant blaming of "Bernie bros" until Biden finally won. Bernie is fully behind Biden now so I don't think they'll try this angle. There was the whole Mueller thing (I still don't know what even came out of that??) and the media constantly reporting that THIS TIME Trump will finally go down, though this reporting is still going on. They had the Women's March which was the closest thing to praxis but it was clearly a waste of time with no plan to actually get anything done. There was the sudden need to blame Russia for election interference and general racism against Russians which is still ongoing. Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica?

At the moment I'm seeing libs asking everyone to excuse supporting genocide because we need to keep the cheeto out of the White House. But I feel like their brains are going to break when the cheeto does get back in the White House.

I remember that the their political class did a lot of soul searching

they didnt really though, honestly. I remember they came up with some stuff that they immediately threw away, that doesnt count.

I don’t recall what they publicly came up with, but I suspect that privately they decided to redouble their antidemocratic/extralegal efforts, knowing that winning fair & square was only going to keep getting harder. So gerrymandering, voter ID requirements, undermining polling stations, judicial appointments, etc.
