When have Republicans become more “moderate” on anything, recently?
On a good deal actually:
1. As much as people mock me on this , they absolutely have become more moderate on LGBT issues compared to 10 let alone 20 years ago
2. The GOP is more liberal when it comes to marijuana issues than they were 15-20 years ago (15-20 years ago a GOP admin wouldn’t have tolerate a state legalizing marijuana)
3. The GOP has moved back into becoming more realpolitik on foreign policy which is arguably more moderate than neo conservativism
4. Overall the GOP is still more moderate on economics than they were from 2010-2015 though more right wing than they were pre 2010
1. Some have, while others veered in the opposite direction. The base certainly has, but politicians have been behind. That said gay rights are more accepted than trans rights, obviously, but the dumbasses in the GOP are hurting LGB people in their fight against the T.
2. That's a very low bar considering the whole war on drugs. People like Kristi Noem are going to absurd lengths to block it. Very small government.
3. Trump just pissed everyone off, there wasn't any coherent strategy.
4. Well they still don't agree on any economic policy besides tax cuts which is why that's the only fiscal policy that ever gets done under Republicans.
The base has moderated, but the politicians haven't.
