Democrats are the new Republicans.
I sure hope they don't go that way!
They already are. Present day Democrats have George W Bush era Republican vibes. The Overton Window has shifted far to the right. That ratchet effect always has liberals shifting to the right.
The American left and right have always agreed on the role of the individual voter in the government, and the role of the government generally. They only vary on who they think should be allowed to have rights, and the rights they should have. They generally agree on economics, business, the police, and the military industrial complex. Each of which contribute to the general oppression of the non-rich citizens.
I don't disagree, but what do we call the Republicans? thinking_face_emoji
freaks
fascists. they are fascists. and democrats will be soon, if they arent already.
ratchet effect in practice.
The pendulum seems to only swing to the right.
because the right is on the side of the rich, and they sponsor them so they win
