All attempts to find a Pollyanna view to counter the points in your post were unsuccessful. The underlying point of your message is the main fear. The media and Democratic Party are responding as if they're seeing a normal temporary shift in electoral power. They're behaving like this is just another election and the normal post mortem and regroup will reverse their fortunes.

They, pundits and many voters don't appreciate that the planned installation of the Project 2025 goals locks in reactionary power for the foreseeable future. Once in place, they neutralize the left with a combination of surveillance, media control, reversal of civil rights and the protections ensuring fair elections helped by a willing Supreme Court, and the occasional dispatch of the intelligence and military apparatus to arrest and imprison rivals or worse.

These are not normal times. The politicians poised to take power next year are a Frankenstein monster of Nazis, the KKK, entitled gentry controlling massive wealth, and all are tied together with the zealotry Christian Nationalism reliably provides. If the above sounds scary, good. It's terrifying and we all need to be gaming out how to resist a reactionary Death Star.

The only personality I've seen TV that tells it like it really is. Is Michael Steele, former Chairman of the Pre Trump RNC,, that was on Deadline White House with Nicole Wallace and the face of Nicole was priceless,downcast, chagrin and so eager to change the subject. Most of the Democrat hosts are in denial and making pretense that everything is business as usual, and gossiping about the peccadilloes of Trumps picks.
