You sound like the Pubbies in my now-blue state!
From afar I suspect the social-issue focus scares some moderate/independent voters, but the larger issue is likely rampant voter fraud—as it is elsewhere.
Yeah, maybe. You could easily be right.
The most aspirational thing one could hope for is breaking the supermajority of the far left.
Talking about the Rapture, CRT, the futility of Electric vehicles, or bashing LGBTQ issues is NOT going to win, period, in any but a VERY few districts. Talking about infrastructure, pocketbook issues, and balancing the economy and the environment can win, if the person can sound halfway sane.
We *could* at least win back some power, if people talked about stuff that was real, quantifiable, doable.
No one cares about kids reading Heather Has Two Mommies, or Maus, Pizzagate, Whitewater, or why the votes delivered to the Electoral college were supposedly illegitimate. Non-issues in terms of winning votes for sane people who understand what matters (taxes, budgets, infrastructure, what are the actionables and how much does it cost for what QUANTIFIABLE gain).
They *do* care about homelessness (bums), looting, crumbling freeways, high gas prices and wildfires, and the Democrats have no answers-
But then we get someone prattling about space lasers causing wildfires or oil soaked beaches being caused by natural seepage or raking leaves on the forest floor or saying that Jesus is coming soon, and that climate change is a hoax- instead of giving dollars and cents policy suggestions as to how to keep homes from burning and the traffic moving.
