From the comments at salon;
“While today’s Democrats are clearly not the same as today’s republicans (who have gone so tribal and authoritarian as to no longer even be conservative-radical right is more accurate), today’s Democrats DO align closely with Republicans of about 30 years ago.
I share your fears, but here’s a serious question. How do we keep the country from moving ever rightward while the Dems move ever rightward?”
That quote from Salon is a textbook example of Liberal psychological projection. Over the last 30 years it is the LEFT that has become authoritarian. The Right, if anything, has become more Libertarian.
This sort of delusional twaddle is what passes for ‘intellect’ and ‘analysis’ on the Left.
I think comments like that are paid psy-ops. The totalitarians are literally trying to rewrite history to brainwash even more people.
