So let me put it this way, you liberals are to stubborn to understand is why the MAGA movement prevailed in the last election.

I don't think that's true. Most liberals correctly identify that the MAGA movement prevailed for three main reasons: i) dissatisfaction with high rates of inflation that unseated incumbent parties all over the world; ii) dissatisfaction with immigration/border policies; and iii) personal issues related to Biden, especially his age. There's countless other points of disagreement between MAGA and liberals, but those are the three main factors that probably made the difference.

True, there are liberals that are staunch immigrant advocates who don't want #2 to be true, and so they push back on it a lot. But I don't think that's stubbornness so much as advocacy. The same way that the most fervent opponents of abortion will say in public that they think that the GOP can push for a full ban on abortion nationwide without that hurting them in elections, but know in their hearts that's probably not true and aren't going to be able to convince the GOP otherwise.
