Gallop: Social Liberal 29%.......Social Conservative 38%

Yes social conservatism is up nearly 10 point as dems push the extreme and ignore the middle

Social Conservatism in U.S. Highest in About a Decade
https://news.gallup.com/poll/506765/social-conservatism-highest-decade.aspx

Highest percentage saying they are socially conservative since 2012

The increase in conservative identification on social issues over the past two years is seen among nearly all political and demographic subgroups. Republicans show one of the largest increases, from 60% in 2021 to 74% today. Independents show a modest uptick of five percentage points, from 24% to 29%, while there has been no change among Democrats (10% in both 2021 and 2023).

Gee I can just envision the GOP 2024 campaign now. "Down with smug and woke!!" Exactly what the average american voter is most concerned about.

B402, Smugness in the satisfaction you are basically doing the right thing. Not getting everything right to everyone's satisfaction, still, on balance, getting more things right than wrong. Smugness from knowing fighting for the right of woman to have access to safe abortion procedures is a good thing. Smugness in knowing taking measures to protect against climate change is the very best thing. In fighting over decades for rational gun control policies and for decent and affordable healthcare for all. For a fair safety net for the most vulnerable. Being champions of Social Security and SNAP programs. Yes Democrats have plenty of reasons for smugness.

Carville noted is a proud Democrat and one with the integrity to be critical at times of his party, while at
other times defending it against vicious agendas of the worst of America's conservative creatures. See

Trump may have thought James Carville's

would be his savior, but he will more likely learn "It's the cover-up, stupid" that will more affect his future.

As we all do Carville makes mistakes ..
Yeah, Carville think it was. I remember thinking then no way would Trump
drop out because that would reinforce the loser-chicken bone spur thing.

And - lol - good ol' woke, which you and your fellow conservatives have failed in trying to beat the bejezus out of:

“Wokeness is a problem and we all know it”
"Labeling everything as "woke" is becoming as common and disingenuous (as many don't even know what it
means) a tactic for conservatives as Trump's "fake news." Don't like it? It's fake news. Don't like it? It's woke.

We have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice. What I’m saying is, we need to do it without using jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people — including most Black people, by the way — because it signals that you’re trying to talk around them. This “too cool for school” shit doesn’t work, and we have to stop it.

Thanks for bringing James Carville back. It's been awhile.
