a good question. Because unless you are a willfully blind shill or a total ignoramus, the Democrat party shift is as obvious as anything ever was! Why did they go nuts?

The Democratic project is bleeding out because it either does not address what the middle class is worried about, or it offers no solution to popular anger—namely over inflation, the out-of-control DEI commissariat, illegal immigration, crime, high energy prices and tyrannical Green New Deal policies, steep interest rates, unaffordable housing costs, and anemic foreign policies.
… Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were the last Democrats to go through the motions of appealing to the middle class. But in retirement, they both cashed in, went global, and became multimillionaires by selling their name and brand—and so joined the madness.
It’s pretty dang obvious to even the dullest among us that the Democrats have gotten to be amazingly extreme. They now aggressively let their Lefty freak flag fly. This is NOT your father’s Democrat party! Most people don’t recognize them at all anymore.
Look, YOU didn’t leave the Democrats, they left YOU!
