Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time since the late 1800s that the Presidency has changed parties 3 elections in a row, and the House is changing hands more often than it has historically.
The Democrats have obviously failed to properly understand the American electorate and what drives them. But I would also be pretty hesitant to ascribe the results to some sort of endorsement of Republicans. Americans are pretty fickle these days, and I suspect we'll see something similar to Biden's term where Trump starts off somewhat popular but then his act wears thin and people want change again.

They might get tired of his act, but Trump politics in the Republican party is here to stay.
A loss would have at least caused some division and have them move away from the crazy, but with his landslide win that will probably not happen for a very long time now.
Would be interesting to see what nut job they run next.
