  • because America is so far right it’s reshaped the Overton window

    You’re definitely spot on about that! Overton window has been dragged completely off of the right side deep end in USA. Democrat politics are in fact considered conservative in most other parts of the world.

    Conservatives in the US (eg, far right extremists) have tried to subvert the term “progressive,” similarly to what they did with “socialist,” and pin it on Dems as if it’s some kind of pejorative admonishment. I don’t think Dems are very progressive at all, they couldn’t even be bothered to do things like increase the minimum wage, pass paid family leave, or codify roe, during the times they had power to do so.

    imho progressive = leftist, dem = center right, and repug = authoritarian fascist, to align more fully with global political spectra. However, many of my fellow Americans might disagree with that characterization.
