Left-wingers wryly note that fiscal conservatives tend to claim tax cuts are always the right answer; if the economy is booming, they say rates must come down because revenues are gushing unnecessarily fast into the Treasury, but in recession, tax-cutters say slashing rates will get the economy moving again.

But the Left is just as inclined as the Right to treat triumph and disaster just the same. Its answer in all circumstances is to move faster and further leftward.
Thus, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee blamed defeat in Virginia on the failure to pass President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar welfare bill. “More Virginians would have voted Democratic,” the progressives claimed, “if they had child care and Democrats had accomplished what we promised for years.” In a similar but contradictory way, Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher argued that voters weren’t interested in roads and bridges but wanted more “justice and racial equality.”
In truth, Tuesday’s red wave, which washed away Democrats’ margins and swept Republicans into a multitude of offices right down to Sticksville dog catcher, argues not for but against left-wing overreach, both on spending and on cultural issues. Voters want reasonable policies, not extremism written by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and embraced by the bumbler in chief.
One must be careful what one wishes for, so it’s hard to know whether to lament or welcome the Left’s intransigent refusal to learn the obvious lessons of its electoral humiliation. In a well-functioning polity, we’d want Democrats to become sensible and therefore more electable. But we’ve already seen, in Biden, that the mask of reasonableness is likely to be dishonest camouflage for an extreme agenda.
So, it’s easier to celebrate the Left’s uneducable insistence on an ever-more vigorous pursuit of policies that brought them defeat. Responding to voter repudiation by doubling down on their left-wingery makes them less electable, and thus makes Republican victory in 2022 and 2024 more likely. Better government and more effective policymaking is, ironically, therefore made more likely by the Left’s purblind determination to be more militantly extreme.
And there is a self-fulfilling aspect, too. Tuesday’s writing on the wall spelled out to Democrats that they’ll lose the House and perhaps the Senate next year. This will prompt more centrist swing state Democrats to retire, for being a powerless ranking member is not as fulfilling as being in charge or as lucrative as lobbying on K Street. So, they’ll vacate their seats, making them harder for Democrats to retain, and they’ll leave their party more under the thumb of extremists, making Republican control more likely.
Thus, recent GOP wins are likely to trigger more in the future. That’s the implication of our magazine cover this week with its caricature of the mild-mannered conservative gubernatorial victor in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, and the headline, “It’s A Start.”
For it is likely to be, and should be, only a start. It can be the beginning of a national reclamation in which voters reject ideological extremism and profligate spending, and restore order to government.
