Yeah, it's crazy how to the right their Overton window is, and it's only going farther right with the new brand of Republican candidates (note: i choose to classify empty narcissistic obviously wrong populism as a far-right thing, simply because it's politicians generally on the far-right that exhibit those traits (same as there's nothing particularly "lefty" about being environmentally conscious, but mostly people on the left seem to care, so "green" is considered "left").
From a French perspective, where there's a literal communist party, and empty far-right populists, and everything in-between, seeing what would be classified as center-right here be labeled as "far-left" is funny. The two party system really is a disaster.
