I do admit that I got the "rotation" wrong, in that, as of the immediate aftermath of 9/11, I expected the Democrats to go from left-liberalism to national liberalism, and the Republicans to go from conservatism to neoliberalism/libertarianism.
But overall I am very pleased with the results.
Spoiler alert: The Democrats have been neoliberal since 1976, with antecedents in the Kennedy tax cuts, and Trump was also a neoliberal. Lmao!
