7. Maybe

It is easy to second guess after a loss. Maybe it is just as many have said, nothing could have countered the blood thirst and spectacle Trump provides and Americans crave. Supporters stayed in their own echo chamber and if they came out, didn't believe anything because it is all "fake news". If anyone not in that sphere wasn't motivated by just seeing Trump in the media and the details of Project 2025, and didn't bother to vote, what one thing would change that? If you are not motivated by saving democracy and are blasé about losing rights, no strategy on earth is going to alter that. We have an ignorant and entitled populace, and both sides are in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately that applies to all of us.
