They have gone full bore on every part of their left agenda, as it were, and not given much of an indication of tacking to the center, which is what I think a lot of people who voted for Biden, like me, wanted. We wanted to get rid of Trump, but we did not want to replace him with a massive left-wing crusade, and that\u2019s especially true when it came to something like schools, where people are aware that a whole new agenda has been introduced through the educational establishment around Critical Race Theory. And some of us have been trying to warn the Democrats about this for quite a while that they\u2019ve been overplaying their hand dramatically on these cultural issues and they need to get in touch with reality. And the great thing about democracy is the voters just put the Democrats back in touch with some kind of reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He also stated that CRT \u201cshould be taught. I mean, not in kindergarten. But at some point in education, yes, we should have it discussed. But we should also have other views discussed as rivals to that particular position. And what\u2019s happened is that it\u2019s been presented as the truth, the real truth, and it is happening. When the Democrats simply say in response, it\u2019s not happening, you\u2019re wrong, they\u2019re going to miss a huge amount that\u2019s going on out there and they\u2019re losing these elections for a very good reason. They\u2019re not listening to people. They\u2019re listening to their own activists in ways that [are] destroying their potential to rescue this country from a very emboldened, anti-democratic far right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During an interview aired\u00a0on Friday\u2019s edition of PBS\u2019 \u201cFiring Line,\u201d writer Andrew Sullivan argued that Tuesday\u2019s election results show\u00a0\u201cDemocrats have overread what they thought as their mandate\u201d in favor of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-978553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/978553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=978553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/978553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=978553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=978553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=978553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
