Thanks for reading. I know Republicans like you. They're politically homeless. It seems like the whole party is now veering hard to the right.

Along with the rest of the country.

If it's any comfort to you, Democrats these days are not any more radical than centrist Republicans of the 1970s.

Imagine a Republican president proposing a national health service like Nixon did, or trying to create the EPA (also Nixon).

Drop Obama or Biden by helicopter into the 1970s and he'd be a moderate Republican along the likes of Everett Dirksen or Charles Percy.
