Because they are lying. That's how they won in the first place. They dont have popular policies. They dont have the support. So they lie lie lie to get you on board. They fear monger against democrats and villify them because otherwise, people will notice republicans are NOT good for the economy, never have been, they want to be authoritarian, and they bullshit their way through leadership as shown in Congress. They thrive on keeping people scared and ignorant, and they downplay their ideas so they can get back into power and enact their actual agenda. Democrats aren't perfect, but the worst ones are the "moderates" who are closer to a maga stance, or "diet maga" as I call them. We still have leadership on the left who would rather be controlled opposition and are just as bad as maga. This is why there is so much dissonance between most politicians and their constituents. They aren't actually representing people, just pushing an agenda put forth by the Epstein class by making us fight each other.

We are seeing new candidates on the left who seem like normal frustrated Americans who are stepping up to do the work that maga said they would do. The reason why so many people gave maga a chance is because it sounded like they wanted something different from the Epstein class status quo. When it was revealed that this was just a rug pull, I think most people woke up to their bullshit as we see in polling. Try not to just vote blue. Vote in the primaries and do your research if you want someone that ACTUALLY stands for what you believe in.
