I also think some of them were so into their far right-wing media bubble that they thought people secretly like all their policies (they don't)

Plus the media overall has historically not been great at really talking about Republican's horrifying plans like this in the past. Barely mentioning that kind of stuff if at all. They were also banking on that continuing, and to be fair, it almost certainly would've if not for the democratic party starting to talk about it way more
