@RickiTarr As a European, this is what I think:
What if the process goes quicker this way? If Kamala had won, the Magas would have just been angry, learning nothing.
Now they watch the democrats step back, quietly regrouping. Some Magas are seeing their daughters die from the abortion ban they voted for. Some get no Christmas bonus, or are losing their jobs, because of upcoming tariffs. And they can only blame themselves.
Soon the Magas might turn on 45, and you all can sit back and watch.
