The author needs to understand that X/Twitter is its own bubble that does not reflect any real shared cultural or political sentiment in the United States. On November 2nd the conventional Twitter wisdom was that polls were actually over-estimating Democrats and that Republicans were within striking distance of a "Reverse 2022" (No wave; modest D gains only). It was clear a day later that it was an illusion - polls were actually grossly underestimating Democratic performance, with some missing by 15 points, like the HarrisX/Harvard pollster.

Twitter, as they say, is not real life. It's just a broken clock that might be right twice a day by happenstance.

Well it's a social network owned by man who makes Nazi salutes. It is self-selecting.
