      There’s a squishy American centrist block that just gets mad any time there’s any degree of adversity (or just negative news media on their screens) and decides to vote the most reactionary candidate on the ticket in response.

      Conveniently, Democrats have been marching to the right in order to sweep up those votes. Expect a lot of “Republicans are turning American into SOVIET RUSSIA! and we need the free market to fight back!” liberal campaigning in 2026.
