Instead of asking why Dems are drifting so far to the left...

 
why isn't anybody asking why Repubs have drifted so far to the right?

I know, rhetorical question, but damn...the rightward drift keeps on going.

Probably because the MSM isn't stupid or dishonest enough to ask such a factually-challenged dumb question.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I'd say that's a false premise.

Republicans hold essentially the same positions they have for years. The left has adopted positions they could never have gotten away with, say, 10 or 20 years ago.

The left has moved so far left that it seems to them that the right has moved to the far right.

To them, anything that is not totalitarian communism - complete with gulags - is FAR RIGHT.
Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

That's a stupid allegation the primitive made.

My whole life, I've watched the Republican party.

And it's slowly shifted left, to about where the Democrats were at during the Kennedy administration.

Pretty much. There is scarcely an issue on which the Ds haven't gone leftward, sometimes even reversing their position to do so (e.g. same-sex marriage).

why isn't anybody asking why Repubs have drifted so far to the right? Dimocrats refuse to do anything good for their constituents, and instead act like a bunch of spoiled brats.
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege, while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!

Agreed. The way I put it is they’re so far to the left, they think the left is the right.

The DUchebags are so cute when they are trying to act smart.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

In physics, a red shift is the appearance of objects that are moving away from the observer.

That would explain all the MAGA hats.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
