It’s because the populous is desperately trying to find a savior to help with the impact of 50+ years of destructive monetary policy and government incompetence.

Where is it swinging right? It's swinging so far to the left that any thing towards the center is considered "right wing."

Ah, the irony for the Dems. Can't pay for free shite if taxes aren't raised.

more like the center keeps electing one party to do centrist things and help ordinary people in their daily lives, then it doesn't, then the other party points out the broken promises and promises that it will do centrist things, gets elected, then it doesn't, gets voted out, etc, etc.

I tried telling this board: to the young, the “far” left and right wings are the same thing.

The far left are about being part of the machine. Hivemind mentality. Fall in line or else. Tyrannical iron fist.

The far right is the exact polar opposite. Wanting freedom to do as they please. Freedom of thought and speech. Leave us alone or we will frick you up mentality.

The far left wants control. The far right wants to bury the far left.
No way they are the same.

I don’t think it’s that. I think there’s a large amount of moderates in this country whose primary issues are “no wars. And i don’t want shite to be expensive”. That’s literally it.

And it may seem like the country is going back and forth violently because of the two options we have but in reality, middle America just wants low cost and no wars.

This.

And we can't fix our economy without some pain. That's why it will never be fixed.

I think it is swinging way more to the left and then coming back to center.
The left drags the right with them and shifts their normal position.

For the engineering/math nerds- this is what happens when a system's oscillation frequency meets its natural frequency with no dampening. Exponential growth in amplitude swings in either direction until it breaks the system.
