Fact of the matter is voters didn't like their current situation and they blamed Democrats because they were in power at the time.
Now, just a few months after Republicans took complete control of the federal government, voters HATE their situation and they are (rightfully) blaming Trump and his MAGAts for it.
Too bad they were too stupid to listen to those of us that warned them of this in advance, but I guess some people just need to touch the hot stove to see for themselves...

"No tax on tips" is easier to sell than trying to explain unintended consequences. Plus, VP Harris jumped on it too,
