It needs to move from the right to at least the centre.
i can see how in europe the party would be considered conservative, but very few here would see it that way. Just like how california is thought of as liberal, but if you look at the trash the voters have passed and failed to pass or didn't pass until decades after europe - 3 strikes, gay marriage ban, assisted suicide (2015), weed (2016), death penalty
Now to not get too off track, the dems - same exact ****. Years if not decades behind liberalism in europe on everything
It's just republicans are so extremist in their conservatism that it kinda makes even the taliban look liberal. Maybe they'll get behind legal assisted suicide in 2050? Weed in 3050? Allocating $50 billion to fixing roads and actual working internet instead of tanks the military will just throw away? They'll have to invent a new system to keep track of years by then. So i understand why americans mistakenly see the parties as diametrically opposed
