Progressives who grasp that Democrats lost the plot sometime after the George Floyd protests and Covid tend to focus on rhetorical excesses. Yet more costly than any single position related to progressives’ most valorized causes has been the impression that progressivism is fixated on subverting and supplanting traditional norms without regard to the consequences. However inconsistent this impression may be with the standard social welfare goals of the average House Democrat, it has distorted the public’s understanding of what the national party stands for.

At the same time, voter wariness is not the product of abject falsehoods. Partisan Democrats have a habit of blaming every disadvantage on “disinformation,”... But Democrats from the Biden White House down to the municipal level had indulged positions that average voters regard as misguided, wacky, or flat-out wrong and inscribed them into policy, usually without significant small-d democratic input. That helped lay the seeds of Trump’s return
