I’ve always seen the United States as a center right country. I’m not saying that I agree with it but our conservatives are more conservative than other first world countries and our liberals are more moderate than other first world countries.
True, but the Conservatives here have been getting more extreme over the past 20 years or so. Reagan would probably be too liberal to get elected now.
Republicans are at an infection point. They have to decide what their party will look like going forward. I think the last Democratic inflection point was 68 national convention in Chicago. This Republican infighting will continue until one side gives up.
I’d really love it if some talented animator(s) made a Reagan vs Trump cage match cartoon because that’s what’s basically happening.
The choice should be easy since most of their base is literally close to death. The trumpanzee wing is demographically doomed this decade. That’s what makes them so dangerous since they need to seize as much power as possible very quickly or they’re done forever.
I think you’re right. Trump wasn’t a two term wildly successful president like Reagan. Really only time will tell.
