Although I've seen some insightful introspection, the truth of the matter is that they still don't get it. Evidently, one has to go FULL MAGA to have a bit of common sense... lol...

When Kamala Harris finally conceded after Donald Trump’s decisive victory, she defiantly proclaimed “While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign…That is a fight I will never give up.”
What is she talking about? Harris’ campaign focused on only two topics: Donald Trump is an unhinged, unstable dangerous fascist, and unfettered abortion is good. She was fluent about, and committed to these concerns. But, what else was fueling the fight?
When Harris ran for President in 2019, she vigorously supported decriminalization of illegal aliens, opposed fracking, offshore drilling and fossil fuels, condemned the border wall, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), deportations, and putting more police officers on the street. She endorsed a mandatory buyback for assault weapons, opposed the death penalty for cop-killers, promoted a bail fund that helped free violent convicts, and advocated free health coverage, including gender reassignment surgery for illegal alien detainees, and abolishing the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal.
She mentioned almost none of this during her campaign.
Throughout her career and as vice president she also strongly supported DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), reparations, transgender rights (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here), and extreme measures to end the sale of gas-powered vehicles and efficient appliances.
Yet, she barely mentioned any of these core concerns during her campaign.
Instead, she feigned changing her positions, or, more often, deflected and refused to discuss her positions. She was fixated on her faux middle class upbringing in California, her lawn, Trump bad, abortion good, “turning the page” and “not going back.” She often added some version of her all-sides bromide that “Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters,” blamed inflation on corrupt corporations, and offered price controls and a child tax credit.
