We’ll see the self correction but there has been a change in the center. The first is millennial voters who are an if based on their interest in voting since their sensibilities are suspect in most cases, the second are the existing right and left supporters who are more fanatical than before.
Within that are these fringe interest groups who offer their support to candidates in turn for favors. A great example can be seen in the behavior of Indian American candidates and voters in the texas tri cities area, who while generally democrat in the past due to AIPAC’s alignment efforts will now suck up to extreme anti-immigration right wingers in an attempt to cling to influence.
So this isn’t a group that is self correcting itself, its sucking up to power and Indian interests. More power to it for doing so but it also means it isn’t looking for the interests of local communities in general.
The runup to 2020 is going to be a spectacle to watch for sure, that is all I can say for now.
