I've heard that regret is a particularly useless emotion since by the time you get it there is nothing you can do about it.
I regret not leaving Twitter completely sooner. After the election it occurred to me that thinking a part of Twitter is good while Musk manipulated it to elect Trump is like thinking part of a gun is good while the other part of it shoots you.

@CindyWeinstein A view from Britain. I’m a long-time admirer of America and American culture. However, in this election the American people knew exactly what they were voting for, and they will get what they voted for. I know that there are still good people in America, but the image now projected of the country as a whole is not a good one. I sometimes look at history and wonder “how did the people allow that to happen?” Now, I know the answer, and it’s disturbing in the extreme.

“His win… demonstrated Trump’s keen ear for what stirs emotions, especially the sense of millions of voters of being left out — whether because someone else cheated or got special treatment or otherwise fell to the ravages of the enemy within.
That’s whom Americans decisively chose.
The centuries-old democracy delivered power to the presidential candidate who gave voters fair warning he might take core elements of that democracy apart.” [2/2]

“In Trump’s telling, the economy was in shambles, even when almost every measure said otherwise, and the border was an open sore leeching murderous migrants, when the actual number of crossings had dropped precipitously. All this came wrapped in his signature language of catastrophism.” [1/2]

So far as is now known, this is mostly invisible to those experiencing it and it stacks; multiple x damage by n infections.
It seems likely this has broad political consequences.

Donald Trump's Black Support Soared, Doubling in Wisconsin - Newsweek
‘"…the numbers for Black men in some of these swing states are just 5 to 7 points off the mark of what Harris needed to win. In a world where the Democrats spent months, not two weeks, talking to this community directly through targeted ads, we get a different outcome."
Meanwhile, exit polls show that Harris is down among other key groups, including women and Latino voters.’

Trump didn't significantly grow his coalition and he didn't have to since Harris lost a good chunk of Obama and Biden voters.
Democrats are going to blame non-voters. Fine.
But it's pretty clear Harris and Democrats in general bled support from Black voters, Latinos, Arabs, Muslims, young people, and others because of their pursuit of white conservatives and an economy people think sucks.
The "radicals" of the party like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib did just fine in comparison.
