That is definitely his basic point. He does not, however, support it with any aplomb. It's also - to be frank - a fucking dumb point to make considering 90% of the Harris Campaign's messaging was about Project 2025. The Democrats, in speaking to their base, were hair-on-fire serious about Trump's impact on the "American and global order." Democrats built their platform on "Trump will destroy the country." Republicans built their platform on "Democrats will pay for sex change operations for prisoners." In general, voters made their choice based on "inflation pisses me off." "Inflation pisses me off" is pretty much the go-to "throw the bums out" trigger point and Adam Tooze pretending that a West Wing reunion at the White House is a sign that Democrats aren't listening to voters just illustrates what a dipshit Adam Tooze is.
