MODERATORS
My reading is that they mean to say the conservative party has continued to move so far to the right that conservative positions from only 15 years ago are now "radical lib" positions.
Though I hesitate to frame this as the Overton Window. In society at large, the Overton Window continues to move to the left, being gay is normalized now, cannabis is normalized now, I would frame the conservative movement as a desperate grasping to prevent the Overton Window from continuing on its current path, normalizing a genderless society for example.
Economically, both American parties are right wing corporate welfare state proponents.
The united states is a corporate plutocracy, you can buy power and influence, and being poor is being increasingly criminalized. While the system squeezes wealth from the middle class like a sponge. It is engineered to transfer your life savings into the hands of the healthcare owners at the end of your life, instead of to your children.
The poverty class grows.
George H.W. Bush swore to fix climate change. Mind you he then undermined any hope of fixing it, but he did swear to fix it
Shit, we need that Mission Accomplished banner.
It's our only hope.
Yeah, the Overton window moved because Trump won an election. I have no idea why I'm being downvoted (unless it's by the people that say "I'm not voting because dems aren't left enough).
As for the other items you bring up, gay bashing has now transformed to trans bashing. I have little doubt they would go back to gay bashing if they could. They're already trying to divide and conquer with "just take out the trans of LGTBQ+ pretty please". Weed is an interesting issue that both sides really should agree on and we're finally coming to our senses. Economically, we have regulated capitalism. GOP wants to remove all regulation and the Dems want proper regulation. They are not the same, not even close.
Maybe don't use slurs in your comments /shrug
Yep. I downvoted because of the ableism. I downvote that word every time I see it. I know of too many really good people who were severely bullied with that word due to physical and mental conditions beyond their control.
I realize downvoting doesn't achieve much, but there's little else I can do.
What was the slur?
https://www.specialolympics.org/stories/impact/why-the-r-word-is-the-r-slur
It is one of the only words that disparages an entire class of human beings that many people seem to feel is also not bigoted enough to avoid using.
Oh oops, thanks. Not sure how I missed it.
MAGA most definitely isn't voting for welfare state policies.
They just don't know their candidates want to take away their Social Security and Medicare. Neither of which I consider a welfare state, personally.
Corporate welfare. Not welfare for citizens.
