I'm reading Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus about how the USA shifted to the right an unthinkable amount between FDR and Reagan. Obviously there are a lot of things that don't survive transposition across 75 years of political realignment but I am starting to think nearly all dems would find themselves to Nixon's right if they were sent through a time machine.
If any modern Democrat started even mentioning implementing something like Nixon's price controls they'd get primaried and hit with the heart attack gun faster than you can say "we see you and we hear you"
We hear you, we see you, we see the sights, we see the sights lift
