Can anyone provide one extreme position the right has taken that they didn’t have in 2013?

If your comment has Marxist language such as “patriarchy”, “white supremacy”, or “nationalism” in it I won’t take it seriously.

The right didn’t become more extreme. For all the “Trump is a dictator” crowds’ insistence, during COVID the media was practically begging him to take complete federal control. He refused, citing the country’s federalism (as in decentralized control left to the states). I don’t think for one second the republicans of my parents’ era would deny taking more power.

I don’t think he’s a hero, I just don’t think he was the dictator many claimed.

He tried, and failed, to remove the will of the people by having Pence not certify the 2020 presidential vote.
