I don't think you are reading the room. The "blue wave" was not the result of the American people embracing the left's agenda. Trump supporters were (rightfully) pissed off that he started that stupid war and focused on self aggrandizing vanity projects instead of their economic plight. Not to mention the failure of the Republican Congress to pass any additional reconciliation bills to advance the America First agenda. The Democrats think their DEI and socialism agenda suddenly got popular. Actually, I'm thrilled that they do. That almost guarantees that they are also misreading the room and will alienate the sh*t out of the independents who abandoned the Republicans this time around and, before you know it, they will be back in the minority (where they belong).
