It looks to me like the Democratic Party has been hijacked by race huckstering, reparations, transgenderism, criminals-as-victims (if not heroes) and all the other far Left stuff to an extent that they have now crossed the Rubicon. It's not that they can't go back, or that they do (or don't) need to go back. It's that they DON'T WANT to go back, so it's not going to happen. The key for us is to (1) broadcast these issues to the hilt; (2) emphasize that the country (and families' pocket books) were better off with Trump than they are now with Biden; and (3) get Trump to talk about the future of the country rather than how I Wuz Robbed Four Years Ago.
We know (3) isn't going to happen, so the question is whether we can get (1) and (2) enough front-and-center to win. The answer is that it's possible but hardly a sure bet. So we can still lose an election we should easily win and that the country desperately needs for us to win. It wasn't optimism that drove me to write recently about "Seven Thoughts To Ruin Your Day."
I subscribe to Teixeira's Substack, The Liberal Patriot where he and a number of other writers continually harangue the Democratic Party for the things described in this article. The problem with Teixeira is that, like many Democrats, he thinks it's a matter of optics and thar Biden for example can just "tack right " for the election season and convince anyone. Modern politicians seem to have caught the disease Lincoln described. They believe they can fool all of the people all of the time. No one is being fooled. The Democratic Party is woefully unpopular with not just the working class but with a huge majority of moderates and independents who find the cultural radicalism nauseating. The problem is that the same people are even more sickened by what the Republican party has become under Donald Trump. I truly believe that if a Reagan or someone similar somehow emerges in the next decade then the Democrats would be repudiated in a landslide. But here we are.

They do seem to be engaging the Brecht option, and installing a new working class ...
