3. Never underestimate how much "the establishment centrists" can screw things up.

People likely turned back to the guy that incited an insurrection for just this reason.

You have to show people results in fighting for what's right or they will just revert back to what they know. This isn't true just in politics--it is pretty much all aspects of life.

A win in November is just the first step. Some people seem to know that and are looking forward with new ideas; while others seem to think getting back to the status quo ante bellum is the path forward.

With any luck we will get a chance to find out. I would gladly take my chances with anything that displaces MAGA even for a short time at this point.
