    So do you think republicans are catering to centrists with their full dive into fascism or do you think only democrats need to appeal to “centrists” for some reason?

      Trump won by appealing to the manufacturing jobs sector, and because of the protest Hillary vote. As much as I want to believe people were/are informed about his fascism, they really aren’t.

      And now, because Trump won one election, the whole Overton window moved right. You know, because he won an election. You want to move the Overton window? Vote.

        Biden won an election more recently than him. Weird how the Overton window moves when Republicans win an election but not when Democrats do. Wonder if there’s a reason for that.

        Hell, Bernie (and Warren) moved the widow more by running in a primary than they did by winning.

          The reason is because Dems have to actually do things like pass legislation. Which more often than not requires all 3 of house, senate, and president. All the GOP has to do is block things and yell immigrants. Progress takes, you know, actual work. Stagnation or regression takes next to nothing.
