Washington Post: America’s Shift to the Right in 2021 is Worse News for Democrats Than It Seems

1/6 was the bottom for Donald Trump.

It was the end for the haters and losers like Liz Cheney though.

In the year that has passed since the “insurrection” which was an attack on “our democracy,” Patriots have come roaring back and have built unstoppable momentum heading into the 2022 midterms on their platform of voter suppression, the Big Lie and “Let’s Go Brandon.” The UVA Center for Politics is saying that the GOP could be headed for its largest majority since the Great Depression.

Washington Post:

“It is almost always a good idea to approach dramatic new poll numbers with caution. Americans are fickle, and polling them is often like trying to take the temperature of a 4-year-old: You can get a useful result, but it will take some wrangling — and it may not be useful for long.

So when Gallup released updated data on partisan identification on Monday showing a big swing to Republicans in 2021, my initial response was to recall that this metric in particular moves around a lot. When Democrats gained ground against Republicans in 2015, I cautioned against overinterpreting things. When they opened up another gap a year ago, I warned that this was not evidence of “a significant trend reshaping party identification.” Coming into these new data, then, I had the same caution: A big change in a volatile metric may not be as significant as a casual observer would assume.

In this case, though, there are two reasons that the shift measured by Gallup is important. The first affects the short-term: this year’s midterm elections. The second is about the argument that Democrats are making about their opponents — an argument that appears not to be landing. …”

It turns out that people really hate libtards.

“Domestic extremism” has gone mainstream. We’re in the “mass radicalization” phase.

While libtards are only 25% of the American population, they have risen to become 50% of Democrats over the past decade. The Democratic brand has become more strongly identified with young libtards who live in coastal metropolitan areas due to deeply polarizing culture war issues like “trans” and open borders and “Defund the Police” and Wokeism. This has alienated a large majority of voters.

It doesn’t help matters that Joe Biden’s job approval with younger voters has sunk to 26%. The Democrats are now closely identified with a demo that has soured on them and probably won’t show up to vote in the midterms. Even without the persistence of COVID and inflation compounding this problem with ALL groups where support is hemorrhaging, ideological polarization is toxic to Democrats.
