Democrats have come out strongly in opposition to deportations, in support of illegal immigrants, in support of biologically male transwomen in girls’ locker rooms, in opposition to audits and spending cuts and bureaucrat layoffs, in support of endless funds for Zelensky, and more. Democratic #resistance has been a dream come true for Republican campaign strategists, who now have a lot of video confirming that Democratic priorities are exactly what swing voters just rejected. On top of that, Dems have been calling voters stupid again, racists again, Putin dupes again, cult members again. Democrats are ANGRY that swing voters didn’t fall in love with Kamala or her campaign of bratty joy. And Democrats have refused to learn anything from the voters. Instead of adjusting their policy priorities in preparation for the next election, they are trying everything to prevent the duly elected President from doing what the voters elected him to do. What a mess.

What q fantasy. Republicans and Democrats are furious. No one elected Trump to do any of the unlawful and unconstitutional things he is doing.

I certainly did elect him to audit the government, try to root out fraud and waste (i.e. drain the swamp), subject federal bureaucrats to layoffs for the first time in 30 years and to requirements to come in tonthe office for the first time in 5 years, to close the border, to do rapid mass deportations of illegal immigrants, to stop funding Zelensky,to implement tariffs and reset global trade policy, etc.

And I have never known a Democrat who cared more about the Constitution and the rule of law than I do. On the contrary, they want to interpret it flexibly to allow for Bill of Rights violating gun control and censorship policy, want to end the electoral college, want non-citizens voting, want unconstitutional powers to “fight Covid,” etc. They were also quite happy to have Congress abdicate its power of the purse to the executive branch when the bureaucracy was reliably liberal and unresponsive to its bosses during Republican administrations. Democrats didn’t complain about Biden’s executive orders opening the borders and bringing IN millions of illegals, just about Trump’s executive orders to close the borders and deport the illegals

Other than leaving Ukraine out to dry (so much for supporting democracies under threat, right?) none of what you have stated in the bolded has happened. There have been NO audits, there has been no allegation or fraud or abuse, and waste, I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder. Is it waste to have soft diplomacy that won the cold war? Is it waste to have food and milk and drug inspectors? Is it waste to have cancer and Alzheimer's research? I dunno, I think you might be in the deep minority on this one.

Oh and Obama actually did shrink the federal workforce... https://qz.com/175157/barack-obama-has-shrunk-the-us-federal-workforce-more-than-ronald-reagan so your false suggestion of a 30 year gap is, well, false.
