Look, I'm pretty centrist and do my best to split my vote for both parties if policies align, but you can't ignore or handwave away the southern strategy. Republicans have been pandering to conservatives for decades.

Besides, many of their policies have been implemented. The change you say hasn't occured definitely has, just mostly at state levels. Obamacare is still pretty successful.

The federal government has barely done shit in ages.
