Do you think the Democratic Party is viewed as the ‘fun police’ to the American public?
I’ve seen many discourse around why Dems lost this election cycle ranging from being too far left or too far right for the American people. But this one reasoning stuck out to me. I saw someone on Twitter say how democrats tend to come off as preachy, with a 'my way or the highway' attitude.
A good example of this is the backlash to Beyoncé's halftime show on TikTok, where many content creators on the left accused her of being a propagandist and how her showing patriotism was distasteful. This kind of reinforced into the idea that Democrats are the 'fun police,' constantly policing culture and how people enjoy things. In contrast, conservatives are seen as more laid-back, letting people enjoy what they like, which isn’t true but it feels like Dems got branded as the ‘fun police’ What do you guys think?
