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”.

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