I feel like I used to be a centrist, and then things continued shifting around me until the concept of the government acting sanely and working for the people it represents makes me an extreme leftist…
I think it’s reasonable to be critical of extremists. Like, I argue against lefty wokescolds/puritans/tankies all the time. But like, if you’re between the DNC and the GOP and you think that’s some kind of “both sides/fair and balanced/enlightened” position… you’re probably politically ignorant… Hell, if you think the DNC is some actual leftist position… you’re probably politically ignorant.
I just watched a Ronald Reagan video last night where he predicted everything that’s happening right now, because he saw it during the Depression. I found myself thinking “holy fuck, Ronald Reagan is making a lot of sense, what a leader”.

Reagan is responsible for a lot of the shit the world is experiencing right now.
Exactly. Even Reagan sounds sane compared to Trump.
the overton window has shifted so dramatically in the last 40 years, it’s insane.
