The Republican Party shifted from left to right in the 1960s. There isn't growth on the right, there is encredible growth on the left. MAGA and Progressives already have a lot in common on policy ideas, a hate for government, that shift isn't that hard to do.
Uh.
The last hurrah of leftism in the GOP was Teddy, and even he was mild compared to the radicals of the 1870s. The GOP has been the party of finance and big business since the 1880s, and of unregulated capitalism since the 1920s. That they recently became exceptionally racist as well (instead of merely typically racist) is little more than incidental to that.
Very much agree to disagree on that one. You're asking all the idiots who were told to hate woke people that they're now best buds with them. You're assuming the progressives are going to come down with a case of collective amnesia and not tell these people to jump off a cliff.
Come on.
Wait and see, the GOP is a business and they follow where the money is and that isn't to the right.
The money is always on the right.
30 years ago it was, not anymore.
How many progressive billionaires are there? How many far right libertarian billionaires are there?
You're just plain wrong on this one.
Then maybe Democrats should try appealing to the left instead of trying to appease the right.
