Ok.....but the problem with this is that yes, they take five steps their direction, and ghen we take steps back our direction....only issue, is they take 5 steps, we take 2 steps. The pendulium may swing back the other way, but not as hard. Overtime, the things that 40 years ago would have been seen as a slightly right wing policy is now a left wing policy. Simply by moving the goal posts.

I remember bush being what I assumed at the time would be the worst president we'd have in my lifetime........and now, trump makes bush look like a light hearted rump through the open grass fields, rather than the war monger we know he was.

And thats the problem. Obama wasn't some corse setting correction for this country. He was a mostly nothing president. Take away his health care, and I can't name a single long lasting policy he set that is in effect today.

But I can go on and on all day about reagans policies. I can talk about how george W bush was just continueing what his father started.

I can talk more about Clintons sex life than his policies.

Biden will be forgotten to history. Biden himself may not even know who's president right now.

So it's not an even back and forth. It's continuously pushing more and more to the right.

My fear is in another 20 years we may get someone else who makes trump look like a cakewalk. It doesn't seem possible right now, but it also didn't seem possible 20 years ago.

And that's my point.
