    So the overton window has shifted so far to the right that the far-right maga policies are now viewed as too moderate for the new new insurgent wing of the republican party?

    And the lesson they take away is that instead of shifting back towards the center and being more honest and actually delivering for their voters, is to double down on the hatred, greed, and fear-mongering?

    It’s so disgusting that Democrats can’t talk about climate change, healthcare, higher education, accountability, or repairing democracy, because these are supposedly “culture war issues,” and yet the right-wing digs its feet in on aggravating discontent and pointing the ire directly at the only ones trying to solve the actual problems people feel.

    How have we not learned this lesson yet as a country? It’s like deja vu, or more accurately groundhog day.
