Not denying the left has gotten more left (on social issues,) but do you really think the right has stayed in place since 2008?
I think they are the same. The leadership has moved to more accurately reflect the beliefs of the base, but the voters have been consistent.
On what particular issues?
I don't see major changes in anti abortion sentiment.
The "right" has become more populist, but I bet for instance gay marriage approval % is higher in R's now than it was in 2008.
There's a stronger anti big corporations sentiment in republicans now as well. Of course that could change if the big corporations start aligning with conservatives, but for now a person who is skeptical of big corporations, is OK with gay marriage, and against globalization could easily be on "the right."
Republicans pay lip service to spending and debt, but do nothing about it and make it worse...so in that regard they've moved left. Trump and Bush blew spending away.
I read an article on just this the other day. It added suspicion of law enforcement and legalization of marijuana to your list. There's definitely a growth of libertarianism on the right.
Maybe so.
I often though am guilty of seeing everything in an online world. Not everything is like twitter or herdnation...especially that older voting block.
I'm not a politics expert by any stretch, and the olds still dominate the voting...but this sentiment you're saying is true....though some of the Trump/JD Vance protectionism/populism sentiment isn't necessarily libertarian, and that is a growing segment "of the right" as well.
You come at the shit posting king you best not miss
Ok this is pretty good. Good for her. Like when EG drops a rare funny gem. It happens.
It absolutely was but dems have no sense of humor so laughing and fun aren’t allowed
I love the pearl clutching ❤️ BUT concerns over the partially staged riot have fallen on the back burner due to real issues that your dementia god has caused to our economy, illegal immigration, etc.
Dems will try to bring it back up as we near the next election for POTUS, but by then only the small percentage of devout lefties will still care.
The fact libs own Teslas & are literally putting their lives in the hands of his self driving technology (& fine with it) but absolutely losing their minds over software most people admit they’re not crazy about is hilarious
Interesting. I remember when you claimed to not be partisan
There's a reason he's Elon Musk and you're not. I think you just showed it...
