Cynic in me thinks this is an order from the top to veer back to the center on certain issues and throw some wings of the party under the bus. We are in an incredibly precarious position right now with being on the cusp of a major economic downturn and our global enemies/competitors flexing their muscle.

They burnt conservatives, Christians, Caucasians, and libertarians too fast and severely, and are now trying to reverse the results as there are still enough older progressives with the foresight to realize a shitstorm is a-brewin. The collapse of military readiness, the legions of young people dropping out of society, waves of immigrants who refuse to assimilate, and more than half of the population saying they have no love for this country, or would feel called to defend it if a war was to break out, is not something anyone outside of AOC would consider an ideal situation to be in.

My guess is entitlement programs, the whole trans-children movement, and policies on crime will see an overall shift to the right, as these issues are starting to blowup into full blown political and social catastrophes. Also, Corporations and Politicians will start plastering flags and soldiers in their ads, all in the hopes that normies fall back in line for a few years before they start another big push.
