When Republicans don’t win in a wave election on 2022, which is now what they expect, they will retreat into even more craziness about the elections being stolen. They won’t understand how the poll numbers didn’t jive with the actual voting patterns. And the real reason will be exactly what you pointed out in this article. The discontent among democratic voters is that the movement to the left has not been fast enough or far enough. It certainly isn’t because a lot of people want to push things even further to the right. Republicans are spending all of their energy trying to purge people from their minority to get even smaller. How is that a winning strategy? Pandering to extremist gets lots of attention but it isn’t the kind of attention that’s going to help them win elections.
