I could sus it like you think Biden moved it right (lol), but that requires you ignore Trump would have actually moved it rght, which is exactly the Overton window is moving it as left as you can every step, but why the fuck am I bothering even with this you’ll just say but but but but but but Biden bad! I’m out.
Is it fair to say that the overton window is only moving right when we are still making progress moving it left?
The overton window isn’t a zero-sum measure. It can expand simultaneously in both directions. Given that we have nazis in the street now, I’d say it’s not correct to say that it’s moving only left either.
That has little to do with whatever political machinations are occurring and more to do with housing and necessities inflation driving labor pressure as a lagging inflation indicator.
Think of it as a tectonic/landscape thing rather than the stupid games people happen to be playing on the landscape.
Of course if any of them had their heads out of their own asses, or the asses of their owners, they might recognize this and start adapting…
We did in 2020. It moved rightward.
Lol you think Biden is right of Trump. Right well thank you for letting me know I don’t have to reply any further.
Not what I said but cool.

Bush moved it right. Obama moved it right. Trump moved it right. Biden moved it right.
Called it! Ok really that’s it.
Okiedokie.
Ah yes, that’s why union support is at a 60 year high.
Is that the sole measure of the overton window?
