    Looked at from the outside, it seems that the role of the Republican party is to be so extremist that the Democratic party can avoid being specific about their political program and just pitch themselves as “not extremist”. Basically, the Republicans have moved the Overton window in a way that would entirely empower the Democrats to govern from the right.
