GOP turned left in the early 70s and it’s never fully turned back.
Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.Before the 1970s, actually.

Put the stuff out there 2 years early, and just keep hammering away. Dems are already there, so you don’t really need a candidate this point to promote, just keep pointing out all the flaws of those currently in office.
