The swing right that has held since then is simply illegitimate, and is WAY long overdue to be reversed and shoved into the ashcan of history. I am indeed a Boomer, and to me the 60s and 70s is indeed the real America, not the 1980s and since. It is not crazy at all to recognize the wrong right-turn we have made. And I do think we are going to see a reversal to one extent or another. It depends on who the candidates are, meaning who actually wins the White House, as well as on who wins Congress. So how far the swing left will go is up in the air. If Harris is the nominee in 2024, the Left will lose the election, the pendulum-swing will continue-- and will get more extreme between each term for a while.

Unfortunately, the real America includes racism.  Too many people cared more about keeping minorities down than keeping America up.  It is no accident that the Democrats lost their dominance as they chased the minority vote.  Thing is, things may have changed.  One cannot maintain dominance any longer counting on racism.  A 4T collapse of the old values is leaving the Republicans grasping.

It seems being worried about lots of people being disappointed in advance of Biden has been cured by the convention effort.  On the other had, you remain disappointed in advance with Harris.  I guess you are being led to it by your obsession with astrology which results in your being out of step with the world.
