The thing is, by the standards of a sitting government in a 2024 election the Democrats did not actually do that badly. They saw a roughly 6% swing against them. By contrast the then-sitting government in the UK election saw a 22% national swing against them (actually bigger if you look at the individual seats). Heres what a 22% swing from 2020 looks like in a US election:

Absolute disaster, if that happened it could be an extinction level event for the Democrats. I think that was averted, and if Trump doesnt end US Democracy the Democrats can recover, probably quite quickly too. Unlike a lot of those other countries, the Democratic base is still broadly intact, though damaged.
