Yeah, the large part of the GOP is Leftist Light. That simply means they wait (hide) in the wings while the Dems destroy the county. Later they come on stage and continue what the Dems have started. That’s all.
They try to be the “deep left” in that capacity. But they were quite open about it anyhow, even way back in the 50s; this was noted in books such as “The Conscience of a Conservative”.
