You may be overestimating the value and meaning of the last election. Even if you disagree with the popular vote significance, the fact is that the country is still pretty much divided 50/50 when it comes to national elections. There are reasons that the power shifts from party to party every few cycles and swings back and forth like a pendulum.The obvious answer to the question posed in your OP is that the Regressive Left has put so much effort into making the Democrats so repulsive and annoying to so many Americans with your constant PC, Identity Politics, anti-freedom of expression antics and personal insults of anyone who dares to disagree with you.The dupes go for character assassination and ridiculous promises rather than looking at the actual policies they're for...cutting Medicaid, blocking background checks blocking minimum wage hike and pollution remedies...etc etc
Your habitual use of the word "dupe", for example.
Turns out many people won't vote for people they just dislike on a personal level. Who knew.
And amazingly, after all this pushback, you folks still refuse to see it. Must be because you're just smarter than everyone else, too.

You are correct, but also wrong-) You see----->the population centers (which is where your 50% resides) is a much WEAKER 50%, then all of the fly over country that will exert control on congress.
Just as an aside, the REAL election in the heartland is in the primary, not the general. Once we get conservatives in place, congress is going to nail you proggy's down, and that will be the end of it, Democratic President or not! And why shouldn't that be true? When the government is controlled throughout the states and feds by close to 3/4s to 1/4, then the 3/4s should be in command.
