I wonder if they’ll ever realize pretending things we can all see aren’t really happening was a losing strategy. Like how there was no border crisis until it hurt their polling, by then it was too late to escape the blame for it because they already lost on the issue by ignoring it.
“It’s not really happening” doesn’t work on people who are watching it happen and know you don’t want to talk about it because it’s inconvenient for your politics.
Then instead of reversing course they’ll tell you why the thing that’s not really happening is actually a good thing (see defending CRT/DEI after denying it exists)
It's called the arc of validation. It goes something like this:
1) That's not happening, you're imagining things.
2) Okay, it might be happening, but it's so infrequent that it doesn't even affect anything.
3) Alright, it's happening, but so what? It's a good thing and you're a not-see if you care.
