I don't like comparing the more left leaning democrats to Trump. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Bernie Sanders isn't Trump he just thinks rich people are bad(besides himself) and that government is the key to everything. At least his resides in a factual universe and not a fantasy land.
I personally think the dems are going to lose the house in 2022 and gain seats in the senate. The reason isn't because of moderates. It will be because of frustration making democrats not want to vote. Most of the left wing press and base thought that when they won those 2 senate seats that they would get everything they wanted, and now its clear that they can't even protect voting rights or hold people accountable for Jan. 6th. There will be races in the house lost because people will just think why bother its not like they will get 60 senate seats.
How well the GOP does in the midterms is entirely dependent on getting Trump off the stage. I don't think his rallies will be a problem but he is a problem. The GOP wins midterms in the burbs. They care about law and order, the schools, and the economy. The do not like Trump as we have seen ever since he became president. The midterms favor the party who can get their regular constant voters to the polls. That pretty much defines the burbs who are inclined to vote for the GOP repubs but not Trump.

If you think you have a better brand of conservatism, it's time to start defining who and what it is instead of whining about the past.
