30 years ago it used to be that Republicans (right right on the world politics spectrum) turn the wheel right while Democrats (right on the world politics spectrum) simply stop it from turning (instead of turning it left). Nowadays it's turning right under Democrats and spinning out of control to the right under Republicans. I think we need to face the fact that US policy has been right wing (which is far right on the world politics spectrum) for a while now regardless of the party in power and that is not stopping anytime soon.

The opposition leaves their values on the curb to appear more right than the right. But the public and the media never pick up abolish police abolish prisons or even innocuous Medicare For All i.e abolish medical debt peonage, because they haven’t abandoned Bush and stopped shopping or Trump in white suburban enclaves all batting for Chevron and lower Middle East gas prices.
