Again excellent & I would add: these rightwing crusades against liberalism only gain traction when liberals out of cravenness & opportunism join in the anti-left agitation: as in Wilson and Truman administrations or recent mainstreaming of anti-PC & anti-cancel culture discoursehttps://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1393182626299748353 …

The Democratic Party shifted significantly left in the late 60s and the result was Reaganism for 40 years. (I realize you’re on the left, so you may scoff at the notion that the Dems moved meaningfully left in that period. But millions of American voters saw it differently.)

There's a 10 year gap between late 1960s and Reagan. During those years you had Jimmy Carter, who significantly pioneered neo-liberalism (deregulation, anti-unionism, Volcker shock, Brzezinski's foreign policy). That's precondition for Reagan.
