I'm sorry, but I find articles like this entirely disingenuous. It opens with a rural Tennessee classroom in which the teacher and a lone student bravely try to help a bunch of Trumpers understand their perspective. It continues with another example of a right-leaning former WV legislator coming around to the leftist position on transgender participation in sports. But what I did not find was a single meaningful example of the opposite. The best the article could muster - for appearances of neutrality - was an example of reduced support for minimum-wage increases by a group of Democrats. Nothing concrete.
Sorry, but the lady doth protest too much.
- finalis 5y agoThe article may not do a good job highlighting where the left moves right but I believe that is because that movement is the status quo given obstruction on the right. Remember when "$2,000 checks out the door immediately" became $1,400 checks after weeks of delays and the left leaning media outlets and thus liberals went along with it? Remember when Biden dropped plans to help out with student loan debt and nobody batted an eyelid? Remember when Medicare-for-All and Green New Deal were things liberals pretended to care about? The left constantly moves right by accepting the status quo. They don't need to document specific examples in an article because it is the basis behind every major policy topic for at least the last 10 years.
