    Not really. When people say that, they tend to be focused on healthcare. Which is fair, because US healthcare is barbaric. However, when you open it up to other issues–gay marriage, trans rights, anti-racisim–suddenly the US doesn’t look so far to the right. At least, not in terms of public opinion vs what its government actually does.
