The problem is both parties are being run by extremists. the Republican party is now influenced by the far right and Trump.
And Democrat party is being controlled by the far left such as AOC, Sanders, etc neither party can compromise on anything anymore and get anything done in Congress.
AOC and Sanders are absolutely not in control and haven’t delivered much of anything. The establishment moderates see to that.
The Republicans have villainized their establishment moderates and even those who are solidly right, just not extremely so.

This is what happens when moderates in both parties are being voted out.

W won't be appreciated for the wit that he has, and the gentle gentlemanly ways he shows, until future generations study him.
Although during the morning of 9/11, I was frozen in fear due to the fact that GW was president and I thought that might be the end of the US, GW lead us through it. With grace.
For some unknown reason, many didn't like him during his presidency. What a truly decent, lovely human.
As was Jimmy Carter. Who also wasn't appreciated until much after his presidency ended.

Carter is a far better human being than anyone in the Bush family.
Republican Party has been overtaken by far right elements and now the likes of him are considered liberal in their eyes. Even Reagan would be considered so now. Meanwhile they think it’s the democrats that have gone far left.
Heck even McConnell is labeled a RINO now because he dare put up the slightest resistance to some of Trump’s ideas. Even when delivering wins for the Republicans they’ve been chasing for decades.
The R party is getting some actual Conservatives. No doubt, however, that some RINOs will pretend to care about Americans and get voted in.
I've called Turtle a RINO for a long time, not just now. Same for Miss Lindsey Graham.

It's crazy. I liked Bush and Reagan, I think Trump is a grifter and a loon.
At times Bush did things that I wasn't crazy about, but I always thought at heart he was a decent human being and cared about the country. Even when I didn't always agree with him, he could be quite endearing at times. Trump seems to care only for himself. He is about as endearing as a snake!

Yep, they totally derailed....they think Cheney, Kinzinger, Bush, McConnell, everyone is a Liberal.
Yes if Reagan were around today they would probably think him a Liberal.
Yet, Trump a life long Liberal Democrat with the morals of an alley cat in heat, is the true conservative!
Crazy Cult time! No Logic there!
A real far cry from his war mongering/Oil Rich/Halliburton/ Carlyle Group days ehh? What happened?
Probably bought off like the rest.
