"However, over the past half century, the two parties have exchanged constituencies — or, to put it another way, the Northern party and the Southern party have remained the same but exchanged names. In its constituencies, if not its policies, Trump’s Republican party is the party of Andrew Jackson, William Jennings Bryan, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson: the historic leaders of the coalition of rural Southerners, Midwesterners and working-class “white ethnics” in the Northeast. Biden’s Democratic party, meanwhile, is based in former Republican regions — New England and the parts of the Midwest and West Coast settled by New England Yankee Protestants."

Republican's are now the party of FDR and Johnson - huh?!?

"In its constituencies, if not its policies" He's saying the policies are different but it's the same general groups of voters

Trump is republican in name only, otherwise, except for possibly the Freedom Caucus, republicans and democrats are the uniparty.

What a colossal pile of progressive horseshit.

What a colossal pile of progressive horseshit.

Colossal, not sure it meets or exceeds all of the definition(s) of colossal. But it surely meets enough of the synonymous, so colossal pile of progressive horseshit, will work just fine.
