Data from a new Gallup survey suggests that close to half of Democrats want their party to move more toward the middle, while more than 40% of Republicans are happy with their party.

That’s actually not completely true. If you present the Bernie Sanders stuff to about 80% of American voters, without identifying the source, they go wild with approval, and they tell you that’s the whole thing they’ve been saying this whole time.
There’s a little bit of an issue that the average American is roughly on par with Nixon politics-compass-wise, but mostly the issue is that they’ve been so addled by poisonous corporate media that they don’t know up from down, and they think the Republicans are the party of small government and honor, and the Democrats are the party of transgender-queer-ism and corporate corruption.
So you’re right in terms of what political parties they support, but not in terms of what political stances they support. The one has just been divorced from the other by careful engineering. And then also, yes, some Nixon things like “immigrants are all dangerous rapists and the left is letting them do it” and other such things, they have absorbed.
