Kamala still got 48% of the vote. Popular opinion hasn't swung at all; It's just gotten more divided and the ridiculous overreaches by both parties (but definitely led by the dems) have resulted in wild swings in power, but not opinions - Most people still believe in bullshit, and are "moderate" on DEI bullshit, but are more scared to get inbetween the psychopaths and the nutjobs who want to roll in the mud with the psychos.
This is constant escalation, and it's no longer a pendulum, just a wrecking ball. I shudder at what freedoms we're going to lose under the next administration and shudder even more at how those freedoms lost are going to "justify" the next round of psychopath-pedophile escalation.
