Cenk's analysis left out the more important phenomenon: Reagan is the reason the country moved right. The Republican reaction of today is exactly because they fear the opposite of what Cenk claims. They see the pendulum swinging back. It's why Arizona preempted the federal government on immigration. It's why a civil union bill made it to the desk of the Governor of Hawaii. It's why the majority of the country supports the repeal of DADT and support health care reform. It's why the Progressive Caucus now outnumbers the blue dog coalition. It's why socialism is polling higher among Americans.
