With Consistent Zeroes on HRC’s Congressional Scorecard and a Career Record of Unbridled Hate, Mike Johnson Will Be Most Openly Anti-LGBTQ+ Speaker in Modern History
Glad even the title is questions their status as ‘moderates’ because I really don’t think those exist anymore in the republican party. If you really want to find a moderate conservative, you can find plenty in the democratic party.
"The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican,”
Thanks for posting this. Ive said for years that obama was basically right of reagan based on my own observations. TIL, holy shit obama said it about himself. Real life example of the shift in the overton window.
I fully believe the conservatives shifted the window hard on Obama because he was black. He did what Reagan did, but he did it with brown skin, so hes a socialist. Now Reagan like policies only get remembered as Obama like policies and Republicans hate it and Democrats think its progressive. I hate to say it, but electing a Black president deepened and widened the divisions between Americans. I really hoped there weren’t enough people who were that racist, and I know a lot happened before Obama but behind him is a wake of division deepened by reactionary racists. The fact that the US was apparently too racist to be ready for a black president is depressing.
IRC Obamacare is also heavily inspired by and quite similar to Romneycare. It’s not particularly surprising that Romney has decided to not run again, given the party which elected him as a presidential candidate ten years ago, basically no longer even consider him a republican.

Obama, 2012.
