To the surprise of no one that’s been paying attention

I don’t like that term mainstream conservative. Currently we have a dearth bevy of extremists on one hand and the reasonable people who can hardly be qualified as leftist on the other.

Reasonable people merely look like they’re left and get called communist for supposing we have healthcare and not hurt women.

In short, to call yourself a conservative in this climate is to admit that you’re an extremist too. They are the same people. It’s the same picture.

I think what’s happening is that the old political boundaries are being rewritten. The MAGA crowd don’t hold all the same views as old school conservatives, and so some of them are now swing voters. But also Trump is pulling some votes from the democrats, most obviously the unions
