The Overton Window, the range of ideas considered acceptable in public debate, has not merely drifted, it has been pulled away from the constraints of reality. It is that he forces a confrontation between reality and rhetoric. Governments should operate within fiscal limits. For too long, parts of the progressive left have effectively weaponized the Overton Window to enforce those labels. When common sense is pushed outside the Overton Window, the system loses its capacity for self-correction.
