It's because the MAGA-pilled soft-brained types truly believe, like truly, that the problem is Congress didn't do enough to support Trump. They actually believe that.
So they blame people like Thune, Wiles, etc.
It's never Trump's fault.
It's never MAGA's fault.
So they say.

"Done with the GOP" is trending. If you read most of it: It's because Thune was reelected. I think that's bizarre on the merits. Trump cost the GOP its biggest defeat in a half century. But yes, fire Susie Wiles and freakout about John Thune. But it also feels extremely botty and astroturfed.

Until our media consumption habits change, our political environment will not improve. The difference in politics from the before times, pre-social media, compared to today, is striking. We have not made the necessary adjustments to compensate for how social media changes our brains. We are far more siloed and insulated, despite being more "connected" than ever.

Giving everyone a voice comes with a price. And that price is paid in the form of a weak signal to noise ratio. You're seeing it play out now with the right wing social media reaction to the midterms. It's a lot of noise, and not much clarity. Who you choose to listen to matters.
