    No shit…

    They have been since Jimmy Carter

    And the Dem voting base’s fear that Jimmy was just the start of the party moving right, is obvious now that people genuinely believe he was “the last good one” instead of “the first shitty one”

    That’s how much the Overton window moved in 50 years. Back in 1976 Carter proudly labeled himself a “centrist” even when the right at the time was Nixon right after Watergate. So I don’t want to hear any bullshit about how the right was better back then.
