Worried Capitol Hill Democrats whisper that they face a shellacking in the 2022 midterm elections. They’re tied 50-50 with Republicans in the Senate until Vice President Kamala Harris casts her deciding vote. And their House majority vaporizes if five or six members peel off from the caucus. The president’s party has lost 26 seats on average in midterm elections since World War II, so Nancy Pelosi and the “Squad” will have to perform five times better just to cling to a majority of one.

Don’t bet the farm on that happening, for public anger is bubbling up over left-wing overreach. Despite securing only an historically weak mandate last November, Democrats are trying to ram through the most radical agenda ever. Public anger is not stoked so much yet by ruinous spending and long-standing left-wing wishes wrapped dishonestly in post-pandemic rescue measures. The public gorge is rising faster over the ideological insanity of teaching schoolchildren to hate their country, hypocritical acceptance of violent rhetoric and vandalism for pet causes, and gasoline being poured onto a crime conflagration to drive police retirements up and recruitment down. The middle class didn’t choose to live in the suburbs to see peaceful neighborhoods and good schools destroyed.
