hearing this kind of rhetoric from Democrats and left-leaning media("they give up rights when the went into business") is exactly what caused the center of the country to swing further right in the last election.

Do you have any evidence for that?

I grew up in the Midwest and still visit sometimes. Many people I know think Democrats have lost their minds with this issue (and the bathroom debate).

The bathroom debate that, like so many issues of the last several years, was borne from GOP legislative and executive action, but blamed on the Democrats for standing against it?

Who exactly has lost their minds here?

That's not evidence of a political swing though.

Multiple states going Red would beg to differ... As would a 1030+ seat swing from Blue to Red...

You made sweeping statements that went well beyond just 'people I know'.
