Republicans used to have centrists.

The Democratic tents still contains blue dog democrats.

With few exceptions the Republicans have moved to right-wing purity and their weak moderates like Susan Collins are speaking ambiguously while voting with Trump and enabling McConnell in the Senate. And being willfully blind to corruption when an (R) is attached to the name.

The left cannot win national office without tolerating its blue dogs,. The far left will never accept this -- they are not able to monopolize the party as the RW extremes and certain paying lobbyists have dominated the GOP. The far left serves the Republican and Russian strategic objectives regardless of ideological well-intentions.

Imagine if the Democrats had a Roger Stone........ Or Wikileaks/Julan Assange working for them. Or if Obama "fell in love" with Kim Jong-un and had secret meetings with Putin.

This is a crazy historic shift that will probably swing back if we live long enough.

It is also possible that they have won and the US is in a long-term decline along with other large nations who tolerate greater authoritarianism and allow the constant process of improving democracy to devolve.
