Enough already about the 74 million Trump votes, half of them are people who automatically think any Repub is better for their 401ks. Many are old and dying off and not being replaced. The future is the young and progressives, the rapidly growing metro areas of GA, TX, AZ, NC. Prosecute everything Trump at every level, hold everyone of them accountable. Let them have their districts and red states. Joe needs to start off moderately to stabilize things, then get more aggressive and progressive later in his term.

The game plan is to stabilize the base, bring in whoever possible from the moderate Repubs, then give the young and progressives more to be excited about into 2023-2024.
