That's simply not true. Most of the Democrat gains were in suburban areas where the voters will tolerate a lot of liberalism but are dead-set against paying for it.
You are right. And when they get tired of the increased costs, they will move and bring their liberal BS to wherever they relocate to and ruin the next place.
As they are doing, right now, in Georgia, Texas, and Florida.
But, folks, like Ocasio_Cortez, aren’t compromising on anything. When you ask someone like her, how the bills are going to get paid and the response is, You just pay for it, you’re in a whole heap of trouble.
