    Not sure if that’s a good thing. The Democrat party is barely strong enough to defeat the GOP even with their extreme right rhetoric and actions. The extreme left is dragging the democrats down. Time will tell, but I would rather see the democrats pick up the “real” Republicans, and put the final nail in the coffin of the GOP. To do that they might need to shed the extreme left.

      That’s because they’re both a coalition, and their voters expect improvement. Often unrealistically from them. To the point that they let unobtainable perfection get in the way of whats achievable.

      Whereas Republicans/conservatives are fickle. Driven by their fears. They don’t expect or care about improvement. Just that “others” are hurt worse than them. The GOP itself found out the hard way that it isn’t really power. Someone always eventually comes along with equally empty promises and rhetoric but simply a more extreme tone. To steal their sheep away. All that borrowed and abused power evaporating completely. Because it was never theirs.
