#4. #2 was kind of part of it but they would likely have gone down even if they ran good campaigns.
#3 is a straight-up falsehood. People are likelier to vote if they feel like elections are being stolen from their candidates. But Trump's actions on this front also boosted Democratic turnout as well, nullifying any advantage Rs would have gained.

I agree that suspicions of voter fraud against their candidates may drive people to the polls to run up the numbers, but 2020-21 was a different beast. Trump's cronies (Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, namely) were literally telling Georgia Republicans that voting was pointless since the system was so rigged, and there were plenty of Trump supporters in GA who straight-up said they weren't voting in the runoff.

Trump acting like he won was enough to make it play out like an R midterm/special rather than a D midterm/special.

Because Apartheid is no longer relevant in today's society there aren't anymore Dixiecrats or Dixiecrat Rs anymore but there is still a Southern Strategy it's called MAGA Movement that's blocking Voting Rights with Gerrymandering Districts and also many blk celebrities don't do the things with their money like they did in the sixties, the BLM fizzled after George Floyd because Athletes stopped caring about poor people again
