Of course it's an oversimplification. I'm posting a comment on Beehaw, not penning an essay for Foreign Affairs.

But to paraphrase Carville, "It's the messaging, stupid."

There's been no coherent message that meets voters where they are. The boots-on-the-ground effects of both the BIL and IRA weren't effectively leveraged, especially in red areas seeing jobs and benefits from federal infrastructure grants. This is incompetence.
