I also can't say what to make of the demographic shifts that everyone else is pouring over, but I feel like not enough people are talking about the raw turnout numbers.

One thing that's given me solace post election... Less people voted for Trump this time than in 2020. I'm no analyst so I'm not trying to lay blame on anyone by pointing that out, but the raw numbers say Republicans didn't grow, they actually shrank, just less so than the Democrats.

Sent this to friends last Wednesday. It’s a real temptation, and a dangerous one.
