The speaker argues Democrats lost because voters rejected three core issues: illegal immigration framed as betrayal, soft-on-crime policies that let thieves and dangerous inmates go free, and transgender policies allowing self-identified women in women's sports and prisons. Americans said enough.
According to the New York Times, the reason for the loss is immigration. Oh, it's one of many, that's true, but it's not immigration. They don't say immigration, they don't say illegal immigration, they say immigration. It's a lie. It's the illegal immigration. But it was the unspoken factor. Americans who were not terribly in touch with politics knew this: Democrats don't arrest people who steal. Democrats let bad people out of prison. And Democrats believe that if a man says he's a woman, he can compete in women's sports, he can go to a women's prison where some of them then rape the women because they're really men. They knew this, and so they said enough.
