blargerer@kbin.social 1 year agoAll the data I've ever seen suggests that its the left thats been slowly moving, and the right has been largely anchored where it started for decades (this ignores trump and post trump, which might change that?). It's a bad thing that the right has remained anchored on horrible positions, but its a different problem.

I don't know where you're getting your data but the only rigorous analysis I've ever seen of political polarization is based on DW-NOMINATE scores, and it does indeed confirm that it's the right wing that's been drifting right.
