A commenter on another forum made an interesting observation: Our political parties are not really Democratic and Republican; they are Progressive, Moderate and Confederate. The point is that Progressives and Moderates in both parties have ceded way too much ground to the Confederates, going back to the '60s, when traditional working-class southern Democrats adopted "massive resistance" (their term!) to the Civil Rights movement, and continuing past the Reagan Revolution to the extinction of moderate, Rockefeller-style Republicans. On the Republican debate stage today, even Reagan and G.H.W. Bush would be seen as weak-kneed bleeding heart liberals. Seems to make a lot of sense to me. Discuss.
