they merely claim to be.

they will flip on a dime if the noise machine tells them to do so, and then they will tell you they've always held their new position.

obamacare is the obvious case-in-point, as it was originally a right-wing plan, a market-oriented alternative to hillarycare (a big government program) or medicare-for-all.

they only started hating it when obama proposed it and it suited them to pretend like they didn't like it.

had a mclame won in 2008 (gack!) and proposed the exact same plan, republicans would have loved it and called democrats traitors if we opposed it.
