I am actually more left leaning than the average Democratic Party platform, but not to the extent that I would alienate typical Democratic members. Moderate is always a modifier of another position, Moderate left/Moderate right etc...

Like I said in my original post. Trump supporters in particular, but even the active Republican Party members today seem to have crossed the ideological Rubicon and their views seem fundamentally different regarding the role of government in society these days. In the past, it seemed that Democratic people and Republican people could often meet somewhere to come to a resolution, but what we are seeing today is tribalism.
