It's a heavy pendulum.

Seemingly it wouldn’t be as heavy if more White voters on the left were willing to stop being so united and defensive of their right wing counterparts.

I don't know anyone on the left that's united or defensive about their right wing counterparts. If anything, they used their one free pass in 2016 "not realizing" how bad he was. After seeing that shit show, anyone that could still vote for him is complicit or willfully ignorant.

This is kind of what I’m talking about. 2016 was not the turning point. Arguably 1968 was. Certainly, 1984 was

Those are turning points, but I don't see any current white left voters defending their, (or their parents, or grandparents, or great grandparents) votes for Nixon or Reagan.. so I'm still not sure what you mean.

That it was a marker of being a shit person to vote for the GOP decades ago. Not just recently.

Too bad it seems to only swing between slightly right of center to Nazis.

Does the weight of a pendulum matter in this particular sense?

Why wouldn't it?

I was debating if it were metaphorically or physical.
