The answer lies in the fact that the democrats are viewed as dumber and more evil See this is the problem of the democrats they need to reform but they refuse to reform. They used to be the party of change, but now they are the party of nothing. To actually reform and survive the democrat party has to acknowledge their own failings and adjust and have an actual platform besides just "muh Trump". Blaming Trump and RFK Jr and the center-left that you pushed out of your party is a losing strategy evidently, look you're pushing out the Middle Left too now, it's not a smart strategy. Trump has actually not lost any support according to even liberal polling but the democrats are in the gutter almost 20 points down. The voter registration numbers are even more damning for the democrats, you're seeing a straight up flip in the overall society against your party, you're seeing the democrats lose 2 million registered voters and the GOP gaining 2 million. Nothing could be a clearer sign to show you the problem isn't with everyone else, the problem isn't with Trump, the problem is with your party straight up, you're not losing 2 million people and at the same time the GOP gaining 2 million people to their base for nothing.
