That's the crazy part, right?  These are the very same people that voted for the blackface/KKK Governor and Biden by 10%.  Now all of the sudden they are racists?!?!?  I share your concern about them realizing they have to lie about what they believe and will do if elected but if the response is any indication, I doubt the swamp dwellers in DC are self aware enough to alter course.  And no matter how hard Democrats in swing states and districts try, they won't be able to distance themselves from the loony left wing socialist ideas.  If you were a Republican and were thinking about getting into politics now is the time.  The Dems are too dumb and ideological to change course and the media will keep them from thinking all these ideas like CRT, vax mandates, defund the police, tax increases, etc. will actually hurt them. 

Of course that also depends on the stupid party latching onto Youngkin's winning message.  Historically speaking that may not actually happen.  He not only held onto Trump voters but he got them to the polls. He also attracted conservative Democrats/Independents, Hispanics and some of the black vote.  And he did it in a very simple way.....not climate change or racism or any of the usual dog whistles.  He did it by talking about things that voters actually care about....the economy, inflation, schools, etc.  That was the same concept Trump understood and latched onto in his first campaign.  So let's have Trumpism without Trump and candidates that don't turn people off and they will win in droves.
