Respectfully, you're wrong.

We just saw almost two dozen districts Donald won in 2024 flip in the 2025 elections. It's pretty clear that at least some Republicans have flipped already. I can only assume that Donald's continued insistence on ignoring affordability will only hasten that trend.

Problem is the Dems won't do anything about affordability either.

Do have some evidence stating that those districts flipped due to mass Republican defections?

It seems more likely Republicans stayed home and that seems the second best hope for the midterms after you know... actually engaging with the voters and solving the issues they care about.
