Bob Ehrlich: The 1st Tangible Evidence of a Big Red Wave Coming in Nov 2022

Two strikingly different takeaways from off-year elections in 🏛️Virginia and ⛱️New Jersey are playing out in Washington, D.C.

On the Democratic left, hardcore types are doubling down on their transformative agendas (apparently in the belief that their most recent nominees were not progressive enough to rally the Democratic base).

All the while, they are assigning additional blame for their election debacle to a secret but omnipresent army of “white supremacists,” now including an increasing number of African-American enlistees.

Here, political playbooks never seem to change. But at what point does an overplayed race card lose its political appeal?

For the rest of us (at least those who live in the real world), the results were a surefire indication that America’s infatuation with real progressivism may indeed be short-lived, despite the best efforts of MSNBC ideologues to the contrary.

The reader need not take my word for the latter conclusion, as it appears that a growing number of heretofore hesitant Democrats now wish to pursue a more “normal” policy course going forward.

Indeed, the adjective exploded from the lips of moderate Democrats who suddenly infer their increasing vulnerability in the immediate aftermath of the twin election surprises.
