Democrats are too smug and are taking certain groups for granted, It won’t shake out well. Voters like me, we want border control, as a country either you have a border or not.

Are we blaming the victims now just so we can protect certain groups? As an Asian, if any Asians commits crime, go ahead and make an example out of him/her so that our kids can learn better.
I live in McLean right next to Tysons and crime has increased tremendously in last 4-5 years. No, before you brand me as racist, I used to live in the exurbs with all kinds of ethnicities as our neighbors ( it’s true even now but DCUM doesn’t think McLean has right kind of diversity), they were majority good people trying to live their lives.
I am voting based on abortion, gun control & environmental protection.
mostly same, except I will add human rights
I will be voting based on border control, crime control and general common sense.
If you want to vote on common sense, you can’t vote for the GOP. So you’re voting on bigotry primarily.

Ditto. However, I do share some of the PP’s gripes about lax punishment of crime and letting fringe issues push away more moderate democrats and minority groups that are being taken for granted. And on a local level I’m still salty about school closures and I don’t like where things are headed with all this equity based grading crap.
But I’m more worried about school shootings and my children losing their reproductive rights or not having an earth to inhabit someday that I can’t have the luxury of voting based on other issues I wish I could care about.
If a true moderate party existed with any shot in hell of winning an election, I would jump ship in a heartbeat.

Because I have a sneaking suspicion about what YOU think it means

Thank you for this clarification. I never will saw it that way.
Some may ask, what about those straight, white Christian men over 50? Those men need to feel like they can return "home" to a more sane and rational and moderate space, which for now is only the Democratic party. Unfortunately, the Democratic party makes people pick a team, and they practically force that demographic of men away. How? Well, by placing blame for centuries of history at their feet, when they themselves may never had any power of authority over anyone.

The US is mostly white, married, and straight. Just because there are more that are not, there will never be a majority --- Latinos will join the GOP at roughlyt the same percentage as whites so I am not too concerned.
You are living in a fantasy land. Last election would have been a republican landslide except for the idiot Trump -- same with the election before.
Long term is looking good.
The question should be asked about democrats though. Progressive wing likely to break off from the party.

Lol. Southern Texas.
The Rio Grande Valley used to be heavily blue.
Democrats should think long and hard before they rely on the "demography is destiny" strategy. Between 2016 to 2020 Trump improved his standing with every single demographic group except for white men.
