Nope, nope and nope again. In generic polling when the public is asked about where they stand on issues, their views mostly align with the Dems. Gun control? yes Reproductive freedom? yes Taxpayer dollars to religious schools? no Should the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes? yes etc etc

There are a few outliers such as trans care/rights and it's probably true that Dems should backburner those issues for now (without abandoning them I might add).
The problem is that those who voted for Trump in 2024, including those who had not voted for him before, were low information voters and/or those who had bought the lies promoted so very well by the right wing media echo chamber which has been inescapable for a very long time now. Cats and dogs! Invasion! The price of eggs! White discrimination! Antiseminism! DEI! WOKE!!! The list is endless.
The Dems' real problem is that they haven't figured out how to combat the right wing media machine across all platforms. They've been playing defense v offense. Building a strong offense is where they should be heading. They're making some headway but it's a long, hard road.
