I also was surprised. However, what passes for the left now has changed and increasingly become a parody of its former self. Now it is controlled by a bunch of ruthless neocons with a nod to extreme isolated social causes like the amputation of healthy body parts to solve a problem originating in the brain. Both parties are largely controlled by the same string pullers. If you would have told me four years ago that I would come to agree with Rand Paul, de santis, Jordan, or tucker Carlson, on anything I would have thought you crazy. Now I am thankful for them
