"Their march to the extreme far right"
Tell me you don't know history, or remember even 10 years ago, without telling me you don't know history or remember 10 years ago.
What lessons from history were overlooked?
Please compare the Democratic Party in 2024 to the following periods of the Democratic Party:
2012
2004
1992
1980
1968
1960
1952
Then, subsequently, trace their 'march to the extreme far right'.
Yes there was a massive Lurch right in the 90s. Since then the Democrats have waffled extremely hard. Flirting with moving back left slightly but often retracting back to their '90s positions. But there have been a few solid moves to the left in the last 20 years. Nowhere near enough of course. But some is always better than none.
You didn't answer my question
Sure, why not twenty. Please compare the state of the Democratic Party in 2004 to today, and tell me which is more right-wing.
