The problem is that the Overton Window has shifted so incredibly far right, that most Americans think liberals are leftists, that conservatives aren't liberals, that conservatives are pro-democracy, and that healthcare is a radical leftist idea. Pre-Trump the two parties were relatively similar, they were part of the cycle of fattening up the poor (financially speaking) before hiking their taxes for the rich's gain. This cycle always falters, and as socialism grows, the capitalists respond like they always do-by introducing fascism.
