Literally the whole reason he lost was because he went way too insane. The GOP is driving out it’s own historical voters to cater to extreme right Q Anon conspiracy lunatics.
I can't think of many mainstream republicans who take qanon seriously. But neither party has a monopoly on baseless, conspiratorial thinking. In any case Dem policies are being widely rejected at the present moment, which is how Youngkin got elected in what should have been a blue state based on projections at the time. He's not some Qanon nut, he basically got elected by just sticking up for parents who were being villified by our actual sitting president as potential "domestic terrorists" just because they raised their voice at a pta meeting. That is batshit insane, and most of the electorate obviously recognized it in that case.

And now of course biden is just lifting the popular ideas from the right and taking credit for them. That "No no no, we never said defund the police, we said fund them more!!" at the state of the union was such a spineless, cynical transparent move. Yeah thanks joe, your party's rhetoric has already gotten lots of people killed, but now that you've realized that position is political suicide you're pretending you never held it!

Oops, it looks like you made a mistake. Did you mean “terrorists”?

Yes.. that was my point. Because republicans have been saying that since george floyd and the dem line only changed two seconds ago once they got some new poll numbers in showing that *EVERYONE HATES THAT IDEA*.

Notice they don't seem to care about their prior rhetoric literally getting people killed and skyrocketing violent crime, only that it was a political miscalculation. This is why I can't stand almost any modern democrat, and why the sane democrats I do like are considered "right wing" now.

Sane people unite. Listen to coleman hughes and glen loury and jon mcwhorter (all of whom are black btw, not that it matters) if you wanna be a sane person. Those three names represent two dems and a republican, btw, so it's fun for everyone.

For one thing, those are just names of people who you are claiming "embrace" it, whatever that means. I'd wager that if you actually talked to them, and drilled down on specific things, they would not be nearly as supportive as you think.

I never said virginia was "primarily a blue state", I said that in that specific election, projections were that it would go blue. And it didn't.

And Biden's completely limp-wristed "support" of "funding the police" which means cool generic platitudes like "better training and mental health!" is a total dodge from a weasle who can't acknowledge that the entire rest of his party was supporting this for the last two years.

Are there any clear, coherent condemnations of his own party for their insanely destructive rhetoric, that made countless neighborhoods far more dangerous than they already were? Nope! If he could grow a backbone and directly critique his own party, my respect for the man would increase a thousand-fold.

Btw, it's also not just a specific legal policy, it's the general attitude that the left has *obviously* been inculcating in the average american mind for years now, especially since 2020. "Cops are bad and racist grrr!!" has made cops, who are actual real human beings, much more reluctant to actually do their jobs because they don't want to be the next derek chauvin, whose FIRST DEGREE MURDER conviction is a complete miscarriage of justice. Criminally negligent manslaughter at best.

So if you wanna say maybe I care more about the overwhelming, constant 24\7 vile smearing of police than a specific policy that was implemented somewhere, that's fine. The outcome is the same, and either one would be inextricably tied up to a political party line the dems only abandoned a few days ago at the state of the union.
