On that note, I remember seeing an article from some newspaper freaking out because while no one was looking (or were talking about other things), the Trump Populist types snuck in and took over 1,000+ seats in off elections or at more local. They have also been a lot more willing to play the game while still staying in the rules as much as possible. I have seen reports of Cali GOP going around and ballet harvesting using the Dems own rules for it, and the Dems dont know what to do because they cant stop them without also stopping themselves. And it has already worked before, with some seats being won in 2020 by GOP ballet harvesting.
It was pointed out by Carl in one of the recent Lotuseater podcast, where a Left Wing journo was freaking out over the fact that "Trump Republicans are no longer playing by the rules." In response to that, he said that the reason is because they are "fighting like Democrats, and now they're beating you, and you hate it."
