On one hand, yes. On the other hand, it’s an expected outcome when moderate Republicans are driven from their party and seek refuge in the next closest party, the dems. The Democrat party will tack right wards a bit for the next few years just because the voters flocking to them now are by nature more conservative. If and when Maga dies or the republican party splinters, those more conservative people will leave the dems and the party will be pulled leftward again by the remaining members.
The mythical refugee GOP moderates do not exist in any real significant numbers, but even if that wasn’t the case, they aren’t the factor driving the Democratic Party to the right. That’s a product of 50 years of neoliberalism and the DNC being owned by their donor class.
Once you understand that, you can fit all of the other contributing factors under those two umbrellas, such as how Democratic administrations have refused to provide any real legislative solutions to the judicial branch’s removal of union’s ability to accumulate and retain real political power.
