Democrats have essentially branded themselves the party of the woke radicals, embracing the transgender agenda as well as the racist and anti-American critical race theory ideology. Parents don't want their children raised to embrace a Marxist racialized worldview, where they are taught to hate white people and hate America.
Besides, as James Carville so memorably quipped in 1992, "It's the economy, stupid." Voters of every stripe are feeling the impact of Joe Biden's policies that have sent inflation to a 40-year high, even as the economy attempts to pull itself out of the pandemic-excused over-the-top government lockdowns and restrictions. Democrat-controlled states held onto their emergency power grabs for way too long, to the point of creating COVID fatigue among their own voters.
Biden's anti-fossil fuel agenda, which is the direct cause of the current high prices at the pump, has also turned off Americans. And then Americans struggling to pay the higher prices for nearly everything are told by Biden's transportation secretary to go buy an electric vehicle as a solution to higher gas prices. How out of touch with average Americans can you get?
Evidence of Democrats' political malaise came with New Jersey's gubernatorial election, in which Democrat Governor Phill Murphy squeaked out a victory in a state that Biden had won the year prior by 12 points. One of the leading issues that pushed many Democrats to cast their vote for Republican Jack Ciattarelli was directly related to Murphy's COVID-related mandates, specifically the mask mandates. One longtime Democrat citizen who still views herself as a liberal voted for Ciattarelli, explaining, "Democrats have left me so disillusioned."
