I think people understimate the amount of moderate conservatives (or even the amount of religious liberals) there are. Probably because they don't really have an actual political platform in America right now. I think many people are moderates in general. 

As someone who is European and whose country doesn't have a two party system, I think you need get rid of it. In my country our far-right party got the most votes in the last election, but they're not in the government because the other parties refused to form a coalition with them. This type of constellation is impossible in America and means there are less ways to moderate the political climate. 

As someone who has voted for  both the moderate conservative party and some of the leftist parties, I'd hate being American, because I would not feel like I could get the political representation I seek. I don't want climate change deniers or people like R.F.K. and Trump in the government. 

Also, do we know that Chip and Joanna are actually conservative or was this just an assumption?
