@mekkaokereke @ATLeagle fair enough, everything is a matter of perspective.
You could argue that the alt-right is a response to the fecklessness of mainstream Republicans to the perceived progressive shift by the Democrats.
Not saying Dems shouldn't have shifted, not saying blue dogs presented a viable long term stance, just talking about the things that we know happened.
Did electing republicans produce a more progressive outcome?
No. No it did not.
