You laugh but that's what they were teaching me in college - no lie.

Bro that's my station! I started listening to Dan OD when he was a fill-in host back in 2013. I had a minimum wage job where I could listen to music/radio all the time. Good times...

Reading that makes me think the demoralized doomers around here are overreacting. Seems like the Rs have been actually winning in a historical context and Ds have been more and more isolated into high population cities...

Name one general position which the Republican Party has ever changed its stance on.

The Republicans have generally philosophically stayed on the same position.

Corporate freedoms vs. Environment.

Generally, Republicans today are all pro-business and enterprise at any cost, no matter what it might do to the environment. Muh Coal, Oil, etc. Regulations bad. Profits good.

We used to be the party of outdoorsmen, naturists, etc. See: Teddy Roosevelt.

I'm not talking about Climate change hoax. I'm just talking pollution and toxic waste in general. Apparently we don't care anymore that our grandchildren have a clean place to hunt and fish...

True: but, in general, philosophically, very little has changed. Ask yourself, if there was a “party switch” (even though it’s completely unclear when you’d precisely define such a switch) would Woodrow Wilson and FDR be considered modern Republicans? Obviously not. They’re much more in line with Democrats.

This is bullshit. Fighting over regulation doesn't mean Repubicans are against clean air and water. The 'Clean Air' act for example is climate change BS and Trump was right to gut it.
