I think if one party was dominant for several election cycles, it would tend to draw the other party back to the middle. Right now we just seem to have these wild swings of the political pendulum.
Even if Trump wins, that's only 4 more years. who knows after that? I hate being terrorized every 4 years with this possibility of someone horrid taking over. I have been pretty much happy living my life in a country (USA) that is capitalistic, and believes in the Constitution (that it is not fluid).
I am not ready for the USA to be turned around and gone socialist, to have all the illegals take money and benefits when they have not paid into it, and take money from those who have, and for stupid laws to happen based on leftist policies. and also the safety being removed from the defund police group and the rioters.

Yep. After two terms of the globalism supporting Barack Obama, who believed that it was his job to manage the decline of American, the Republican base moved the party back to the American supporting middle. Just as you have suggested.
The swing right now is the Democrats going off the radar screen to the radical far left. We will see how well that resonates with voters on election day. Afterwards, hopefully the Democrats will rethink their values and their priorities.
Probably not because its so easy to brainwash americans these days. Americans are BRAINLESS now. They can't think for themselves. You serve them up a platter of BS and they eat it
If you can't argue your point without resorting to strawman arguments and ridiculous accusations, then I won't read what you have to say.
But let me ask you this: do you believe that every other advanced country in the world is "socialist/fascist"? If so, then WHY is the United States allies with Socialist/Fascist states? Why?

If you watch SHADOWGATE, you would understand why.
Then the Hate for Trump in DC, would be explained and click to you.....
The right anymore is SO FAR RIGHT, even a liberal Republican like Biden looks like a communist to them. Apparently they flunked government class in school. They wouldnt know an actual communist if it bit them on the butt. Anybody not in lockstep with their beliefs is a cannibal that preys on small children and wants to brainwash them by forcing them to wear masks or get immunization shot. But its amazing how they dont recognize their own party similarities to 1930s Fascism. Thats why they keep trying to lie and say fascism is leftist. Its not, its right wing authoritarianism demagoguery, just what Trump and his Qball supporters are promoting. Fascism in 30s was in fact mostly just a new name for extreme Royalist thinking from more feudal era. Look how friendly Hitler was with former German royalty. Funny how they thought to use each other. King with absolute authority and saying any stupid thing to justify what he wants. Crush all opposition with an iron fist. Its just too close a fit so they have to try and subvert its definition. Think about it, the current right wing crowd have crowned their KING and want to give him absolute power and corrupt/diminish any actual democracy or rule of impartial law. Brutally crush the opposition sending in the King's troops. Yea not your traditional effort at compromise for the good of the country. More like a Putin kind of "democracy" and blatant power grab. "You can vote for anybody as long as its me, I will poison anybody else that challenges me. Its a fake election if I dont win and get my way, cause everybody loves me." Sound familiar?
Do I think you will see moderate govt get elected and not be stonewalled by the right wing Qballs. Nope. Too much disparity in modern economics in USA, no shared experiences. The "greatest generation" shared WWII, shared a foxhole of sorts, it truly makes a difference. Compare that to Boomer generation. The poor Boomers got drafted to Vietnam, the wealthy Boomers got a college exemption cause they were too valuable to waste as cannon fodder. Or had bone spurs or some other excuse. Or escaped to Canada. Now we have wealthy "aristocracy" that have the "let em eat cake" mentality. And use militarized police to keep them in their place.
Wrong. The EXTREME left might believe this. They're as nuts as the extreme right is. Moderate, rational Democrats believe in having controlled, sensible, LEGAL immigration.
I'm a "liberal," I tend to vote Democrat, and I simply don't understand why the US government -- Republicans and Democrats -- didn't begin to crack down on illegal immigration as soon as it began to be a significant problem. Why have they allowed it to continue for decades? Why? Why do they not go after the many employers (lots of them Republicans) who hire them?
Don't forget that millions of people who vote are LEGAL immigrants themselves, and they're as ticked off as anyone by the passes that illegals receive.
Maybe so. But there are NO moderate, rational Democrats in DC. None have called for controlled immigration. That is what President Trump is calling for and they call him racist.

The Republicans came to the center after the Goldwater debacle. The Democrats came to the center after the McGovern debacle. The Democrats went even further left after Hillary because they didn't lose bad enough. Trump needs to trounce the Dems and then they should come back to the center.
