In the past eight years, American politics have been turned on their head. Once former reality TV star and former President Donald Trump threw his hat into the arena, political norms were upended. Some consider this a good thing. Others, not so much. But one ripple effect consequence of this norm upending is that it's hard to tell which side of the aisle people hail from.
Some die-hard Democrats have come out in support of Republican candidate Trump, while lifelong Republicans are now stumping for presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. It can be difficult to tell which end is up politically, much less who belongs to which part. So when Newsmax political analyst Mark Halperin begins making bold predictions about the election's outcome, it behooves us to wonder: Is he a Democrat or a Republican? After all, context matters.
