It’s not about Republicans/Democrats. The notion is that the far right of the political spectrum is anarchy. The far left is totalitarianism. All you did is prove my point by conflating the too. Just another failing of our education system. If I didn’t take AP US history and took gen pop US history in HS I wouldn’t have gotten this lesson. Hell, I even majored in Poli Sci in college and didn’t get this lesson. Think about that, in K-Bachelor’s Degree schooling I had one teacher, in an advanced placement course, who was able to convey this point. No wonder the average American doesn’t understand it.

AP history is where I initially learned it as well. Have since of course studied more.

Yeah, my point was having to do it on my own as a failure of the education system. Hilariously, IIRC, this was an “off book” lesson where our teacher kind of went down a rabbit hole.
