We saw similar introspection after 2016. Let's see if the media and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) learn or triple down.
Ironically part of that ended up with their flirtation with trying to understand "The Trump voter" and the poster child was Hillbilly Elegy. The book, the Ron Howard movie with libs like Glen Close acting. They tried to flip the script but had already created a monster.
That said I think some of you are missing the point. This isn't about the left suddenly changing their tune. I do think there will be some folks who red pill as that has been a steady flow most recently including Elon, Tulsi, Bari Weiss, and pretty much RFK. That's not the ballgame though.
The ballgame is the Civil War. This will be the older liberals who finally feel like they can stand up and tell the revolutionaries they need to calm down. Problem is a lot of them are too far gone and are completely insane. Thus the War. They have allowed so much to burn down and allowed so many lunatics in power its going to be very hard to root them out. Some will sell out of course (looks like AOC is already showing signs btw, she just removed her pronouns from her bio) but some are just all in. Those folks will fight until the end and the best thing is they are going to focus their attention on the other Dems and not Trump. They will be saying they need to be MORE leftist.
I do think guys like Scott Jennings though are doing more for the GOP than most elected officials. He's a calm and reasoned conservative voice who doesn't lose his cool. He just makes the leftists look unhinged and unreasonable and that's how you win over the Suburban types. That's the truly key demo btw, they are the largest group of voters and they actually do swing. They want good governance above policy.
Just enjoy watching the Dems eat their own, it's so much fun.
