Yes but you can't deny that the republicans today are less progressive then during the Bush era.
I think that in the coming years, the republican party will look like Merkel's CDU.
Of course, they were more progressive in 2000.
However, I do not believe they will become like the CDU in the near future.
I was talking to my old uni professor about Biden and the future of the Democrats. He said something really haunting, my prof specialises in American policies.
What he said was "After Jan 6th, how can we be sure that if the Republicans win the midterms they will not refuse to certify the election if the Dems win in 2024?"
After seeing the likes of Liz Cheney being demoted for her disagreement on Jan 6th plus their increasing denial regarding the results of the last election, I am rather worried for 2024.
