This assumption requires scrutiny. One theory is: some of the left moved further left (perhaps without noticing), so from their perspective centrist (or even slightly left folks) now appear as right or far right.
- JojoFatsani 2y agoIt doesn’t require much scrutiny when you can see where the money is going.
- skhunted 2y agoThe center in the U.S. has shifted to the right since Clinton’s presidency. It was he who supported and enacted free trade agreements without labor or human rights conditions. He ended Glass-Steagal. Obama enacted the Heritage Foundation’s healthcare plan which used to go by the name of RomneyCare. Bush 2 is seen by many in the right as a RINO. Same for John McCain, Romney, and other prominent Republican politicians. The theory you posit is not supported by the facts.
