Good grief, I think the two Parties did flip, but not in the sense most people think, and it has been a recent flip. We now have hand wringing, right wing victims of offensive speech who just make things up, are into white identity, and think their made up alternative facts and theories are just as valid as real facts and scientific theories, because they make them feel better. This is straight out of self esteem education and identity politics. Guys like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have devolved into pathetic parodies of themselves.
