Fearing a wipeout, Democrats try to unify around a simple midterm message: Republicans are ‘extremists’ – CNN

That sense was part of what drove Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to spend millions of dollars in the Republican primary boosting a hardline candidate -- because he thought that would make for an easier re-election race, but also because he believes that the only difference between the candidates was that his preferred candidate is more transparent about views that all the others share. That's been a controversial approach within his own party, and one which Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who serves on the January 6 committee, said he found "disgusting."

This won’t work because this is only an appeal to the woke, who are already voting for Democrats. Most of the country is not woke, so they’ll pay little attention to woke appeals.
Furthermore, this is a pocketbook election for most people, especially independents.
Republicans just need to label Dems as “financial and tax extremists” to turn this back on the Dems.

Correct. JB the Hutt’s anti-Bailey ads just make me want to vote for Bailey even more.
