This is way more than inflation and high gas prices.
This is a complete repudiation of racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and fascism.
It is an overthrow of everything MAGA stands for
Hahahaha. This right here is exactly why politics swings back and forth like a pendulum. People vote based on what is right in front of their face and what impacts their day to day life - predominantly the cost of goods. The democrats will take this win as a mandate to push all their far left policies like Medicare for all which we can't afford, gender ideology, open borders, etc. and then be shocked when moderates and independents all swing back to the right next cycle.
The old axiom in politics is you run to the right/left during a primary and to the middle during a general. If the party in power would just operate in the middle, they'd likely have a much better chance at maintaining power. Instead, they both run right back to their far respective wings once they're in power and piss the majority off all over again.
I sincerely hope the democrat party is thinking exactly along the same lines you are. Because that line of thinking will swing the body politic right back to the right.
Sic Everyone.
