“This is a collapse of the Democratic Party.” Consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader comments on the reelection of Donald Trump and the failures of the Democratic challenge against him. Despite attempts by left-wing segments of the Democratic base to shift the party’s messaging toward populist, anti-corporate and progressive policies, says Nader, Democrats “didn’t listen.” Under Trump, continues Nader, “We’re in for huge turmoil.”

    It’s also just another piece of the Overton Window
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

    Everything in this election saw a monumental move to the right for everyone … the left (if there ever was any) went to the center, the center went to the right and the right went to the far right

    Now right wing or right wing leaning ideas have become the norm and anything that is even remotely left or leftist has become extreme.

    America shifted to the right and it brought along everyone, no matter their political leaning along with them.
