Nate Beeler sums up the present ideological battlefield. Behold the vast “middle”:

Nate Beeler-Washington Examiner

The mystical “center” of American politics has been a myth as long as I’ve been alive, like unicorns and the dodo bird. It may have existed at point prior to 1977, that I can’t say for sure. But there is no center now and there most likely never will be again. We need to make ideological oppressivism (a/k/a liberal progressivism) a permanent remant of an era gone by. A dirty little mistake in American History that you tell your grandkids to scare them when they’re bad. “Don’t ever grow up to be a liberal little Johnny…or you’ll wind up serving drinks to the lawyers in Hell.”

Well done Mr. President. Let nobody ever tell me again that this man hasn’t accomplished something great. He’s managed to draw the long overdue political and ideological battle lines more starkly than anyone of his predecessors could, in only a little over a year in office.

That is no small feat.
