What did Republicans do wrong?

What did Republicans get wrong in the two years immediately preceding the 2026 midterm elections?

  • Cost of living / affordability / inflation

  • Other general economic issues

  • Immigration / deportation / border security

  • Healthcare provision / availability

  • Taxing / budgeting / spending

  • Foreign policy (other than war)

  • War

  • Democratic institutions / authoritarian backsliding

  • Corruption, graft, etc.

  • Data centers / AI regulation

  • Other important issues somehow left off this list

  • On Planet X, the truth is out there


Results are only viewable after voting.
Not replying to anyone in particular here, but this thread isn’t about the values and goals of those of us who voted against Republicans in both 2024 and 2026—people like us couldn't possibly be responsible for the massive shift in power last week.

This thread is about the people who caused that shift, that is, which issues and/or conditions got certain voters to switch sides, former GOP voters to stay home, and first time Dem voters to mobilize.
