Did you mean to say moved Left or Right over the last 70 years?
In reality we have been moving Left due to Progressive Leftist Politics the last 100 years. With few real speed bumps along the road here we are.
Reagan slowed things down some, but not much. Trump is doing his best to move the pendulum back toward the middle but it is a tough situation.
The Progressive Leftists want total Statism, they want Open Borders and Unlimited Immigration. What I want to know is do they understand the total consequences of this?
As Dr. Murray Rothbard, one of the leading Austrian School of Economics said, and he wasn’t the only one:
“You can have Open Borders, You can have a Social Welfare State, You just can’t have both”
The Western States in Europe are already finding this out the hard way. These people coming in don’t want jobs they want only the Benefits and that will Bankrupt them and us in the long run.
We have moved always Leftward. Always left.
