        Are there more examples of this happening? One event isn’t a very good sample size… “IT DIDN’T WORK GUYS, SEE?!”, I mean, sure… But there are more circumstances and variables and conditions to an election lol.

          How many times do you want to move to the right and not back to the left? How many more times will it take to satisfy you?

            I mean, as long as it’s a stable ratio, the whole concept in this post falls apart. What are the statistics on left/right leaning presidents throughout history?

          If the republicans win, it goes further right. If the democrats win, it stays where it is. So the only movement is to the right, never left.

            That simply explains what’s visible in the image, not whatsoever why.

            If the democrats win, it stays where it is.

            Like, why is this the general assumption?

            If this were true, there wouldn’t every have been a democratic president, right? Except maybe once in the beginning?
