Re: Justice Kennedy is retiring

[(Anonymous)]

What do you mean when you say that he's not a Republican? What makes him not a Republican? What would make him a Republican?

If you want a list, here's an article from 2016 outlining some of the ways his views diverge from the standard GOP platform:

I'm not a Republican or very knowledgeable about their platform in general, but it does seem to me that their voter base has undergone a seismic shift in terms of values that doesn't align with the GOP establishment. I expect the same thing to happen on the left - in fact, we are already seeing it with Sanders' popularity, with the recent primary upsets - and this is what I was getting at in my original comment about the progressive socialist "party," but it devolved into semantics, likely because I wasn't expressing myself very well.

Yeah, so like, I get where you're coming from here. But I think that the actual, observable things that the Republican Party does is more important than their sort of theoretical ideological commitments. When you're in a situation where the actual Republican voters and elected officials have gotten behind Trump, you would almost have to say that the entire Republican Party has left the Republican Party behind - which is just nonsensical.

I think it makes more sense to say that Trump is a Republican based on things that have happened and the support that the Republican Party has had for him, even if he "theoretically" shouldn't be one. And, yeah, that is a change - but that's how American politics goes (and it's also a change that's been in progress for a pretty long time).

and also, both American political parties are big-tent parties, with different factions and ideological points of view. That's more what's going on with the Democrats, I think - you have the more centrist establishment mainstream Democrats and the progressive left DSA-aligned Democrats going against each other. But both are still Democrats.
