Indeed - but it goes to show you how much Republicans have dominated possession of the narrative. They've effectively moved the center towards to the right by unabashedly championing positions that they believe in - even if they are sometimes hard-line right-wing positions.

The left has been far too accommodating to that right-of-center, opting to spend more political capital on appeasing moderates and conservative leaning independents instead of broadening the base by fighting for popular progressive policies.
