Honestly the Republicans are the centrist party at this point

So no we're not getting more extreme "on both sides" if anything Republicans have become more moderate.

could be like Senate and Congress is now

they just have awful marketing

No, the Republicans have become more extreme as a result of the Democrats doing the same IMO

data would suggest otherwise but okay

both of them can make laws, but are in some ways different (senate, congress)

Send me some @W1NT3R1SC0MING

will do one sec

ty

Republicans didn't really become extreme. Only the dems moved to the left.

graphs based on policy show that

Yeah the data shows republicans have been generally average. Dems tho? Have moved way to the left

@Nathan James 123 I really disagree the Republicans haven't become more extreme, they've held their ground and moved left slower than previously

which give the appearance of extremeism

The republicans are almost on-par with their original stances

I don't know what US politics looked like before 9 / 11 so I wouldn't know

not accepting the inane leftist bullshit isn't "extremism"

But that's what it looks like @Sawyer42

Reference to one of Tim Pools favorite charts? https://www.economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/640-width/images/2018/09/articles/body/20180922_USC938_0.png

yes

that one

@Nathan James 123 I've lived through it, and most of the Republicans I know have moved slightly left and consolidated around a basic set of ideals

most of the Dems I know cover a huge RANGE of political ideologies

and I mostly know dems

granted Anecdotal

Both of them are still moving outwards towards the more extreme spectrums @Wayward Lone @W1NT3R1SC0MING

The left more so

But the Republicans are doing the same thing.

i have another one that shows otherwise i cant post it tho

it has the republican's moving toward the center

Post it somewhere and copy the link @W1NT3R1SC0MING

@Nathan James 123 I'm at work so I don't have it at hand, but Tim Pool has a couple studies he references showing the Republicans moved slightly to the left and then stood still

@Nathan James 123

On what issue? Where have they become extreme? Outside of CNN bylines....

I'll have a look for them @Sawyer42

@W1NT3R1SC0MING its not a fair comparison beween a US right wing party and a european right wing party
