The most insidious thing about all of this is that the radical left has largely succeeded in moving the Overton Window of what is considered mainstream further and further left. The Democratic party has been slowly boiled into radicalism and things that would have shocked even the left of the party 30 years ago is now mainstream. And yet...the public at large including many Democrats who would oppose these things, doesn't care. They care about the economy and perhaps illegal immigration and for some, ensuring that someone like Trump doesn't get back in office.
To the extent that the Republicans campaign on how radical Tim Walz is, they will be losing the opportunity to give these voters reason to support them on the issues they care about. Its a trap.
