Years ago, Democrats were the party of the middle class while Republicans were the party of the elite. Poor and working-class voters largely backed Democrats because they spoke the language of blue-collar workers in this country. As the priorities of the Democratic Party shifted away from the kitchen table issues impacting rust belt voters and toward the topics batted around faculty lounges at Ivey League universities, working-class Democrats began to feel like a voter without a home.

Democrats want mass adoption of electric vehicles, not because they are cheaper or more convenient for these working-class voters, but because they allegedly fight climate change. Democrats have weaponized the IRS to go after anyone who receives more than $600 on a cash app while ignoring the burden this places on young entrepreneurs. Democrats want to trap poor children in failing schools while Republicans in states like Florida have turned a blue state red by empowering parents to give their children the education they deem appropriate.

Republicans have been given an opportunity to dominate up and down the ballot as long as they don’t nominate insane candidates obsessed with stolen elections. Here’s what Republicans should do.
