That’s been one of my pet peeves since, oh, say 1963. That’s my only real disagreement with Barry Goldwater. In his book “Conscience of a Conservative” he claimed the political right for conservatism. I’ve always thot he should have claimed the DEAD CENTER since doing the right thing is pretty centrist. But He done it and we’re stuck with it.

“we’re stuck with it”
You mean we were stuck with it, until the Great Awakening came along.
Now it’s not left vs right, it’s patriots against the globalists.
