It's always funny to me when people claim that I'm a far-right extremist.

Political compass test says I'm basically dead center. It doesn't get a whole lot more centrist than my views.

I'm only a "far-right extremist" because the Overton Window has moved so far left that anyone to the right of Lenin is a right-winger.

Which can be a positive (for our cause at least). One of the reasons that we see more moderates shifting right is because where else can they go? If the media was even a 80% fake news as opposed to 95% we would see a huge portion of the population wonder how they could support such terrible ideals. It is ridiculous how much the left is protected from explaining their decisions and their shitty views.

Now I am not saying that Republicans do not have their bad eggs (there are many), but our movement is trying to remove those. But Democrats seems to be committed to bringing in even more radical ideologies.

We're all human. Nobody's perfect.

I'll say that given the choice between your average Republican or your average Democrat, I'll take the Republican every time. The vast majority of all politicians are absolute scum, but I find the decent-to-scum ratio is higher in a population of Republicans than in Democrats.

Same here. Not sure how much the political compass test shows, but I'm actually slightly left of center on it. Of course I'm called a Nazi or alt right in real life
