For years, the Left has dominated much of the common culture and its institutions, from Hollywood to public schools to workers unions. But not anymore.

The hold Democrats once held on cultural issues is breaking, as evidenced by several recent elections. In November, Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia gubernatorial election, performing shockingly well in blue counties among parents of K-12 children and suburban women because he made parental access to education a focal point of his campaign. In New York City, left-leaning voters rejected leftist mayoral candidates in favor of the more “moderate” Eric Adams, who promised them he would get tough on crime and support the city’s police. And just this week, San Francisco residents, who are easily more liberal than the vast majority of the country, recalled three school board members for pursuing pointless liberal policies when they should have been fighting to reopen the city’s schools instead.
