I get it. It makes me think of when Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was asked about why he shifted to the left. He said he didn't, the court shifted around him. For me its the opposite. My views haven't changed much in the last 15 years, but I'm a lot closer to the center now than I was then.

I'm still a liberal Democrat. Like, I think people should have health care. I don't feel like the progressive left has moved leftward -- as in, Bernie Sanders -- so much as taken leave of its senses on the woke shit. It's very discombobulating. Time was -- like, two minutes ago -- all the crazies were on the other team, or so it seemed, at least for the most part.

That's how I feel, and I think a lot of BARpod listeners feel the same.

Reagan's famous quip: I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me.
