It's hilarious, because CNN was running a passive video on their site the other day where Kayleigh Mcenany repeatedly said that Trump SHOULDN'T be the republican front-runner, because he's not actually a republican - he's a moderate democrat.
Isn't it funny how the same people pushing "Trump Far Right" were trying to hurt his image by depicting how not far-right he actually is? Cognitive Dissonance is the new Overton Window.
i believe trump is center left lol. the media has changed where the center is which makes him center right now, but he has a bunch of leftist policies. remember the gun debates? grab their guns before due process? bump stock ban?
its largely possible that hrs leaning more and more right just like i do, too
Honestly it feels like we’re all far left, historically speaking. The slippery slope is not a fallacy. Society is built upon behaviors, and behaviors are shaped from experience, and every generation is more accepting of behaviors previously deemed unacceptable because they have more experience with them.
The self labeled “left” are just even more fucking left than we are, they aren’t even on this planet anymore lol.
I think we need a hard shift to the right to correct course.
This, as society gets more technologically abundant we have been able to tolerate more antisocial/unnatural/unfit behaviors and not have civilization collapse, but that doesnt mean our tolerance of these things isnt hurting us psychologically
One day I was watching the news back to back. Youtube would just have a playlist going through Fox and CNN and various others.
I was told not to listen to Fox but they had most of the opinions I agreed with. I didn't watch news all that much but every show had the same format so I wasn't sure why one was being called false while the others weren't.
Didn't make sense so I said fuck it.
With that said, I'm a liberal..but I fucking HATE current liberals. It's like they're constantly parenting people around them
You are welcome here fren. Conservatives are more accepting of libs than libs are of conservatives generally. I have some "liberal" beliefs as well but tend to identify more as a conservative especially regarding social values, immigration, and law and order
I'm Classical Liberal basically, many of us here. The media call everything far-right in a desperate attempt to move the Overton Window and attempt to scare people away from sane rational America first views.
It's a very old trick but even people I know that don't follow the news know that it is the far-left vs everyone else.
i consider myself center left, but cnn would call me right with far right tendencies.
to be honest the more this shit goes the more i believe i should revisit my positions to be right (and not center right) because obviously as center left theres a lot of shit i though we should tolerate that i now realize probably put us in this situation. oh and w cnn probably equates "just right" to satan incarnate.
To the far left, Marx was a centrist. Im a libertarian (little l, none of that party shit). Very pro freedom anti authoritarian. Im definitely not far right

Even moderate lefts are considered radical far right right now.
To be fair, the media views anyone with views right of Marx as a "far right extremist."

I’m moving further to the right every day
And they move further left. It's like Hubble's universe expanding
I'm a literal centrist classical liberal. So to the left, basically Hitler.
Omfg guys it’s Hitler what do we do?

They're not liberal. They're progressive fascists.

Do you think there's a difference between fascism and national socialism?
At this point we are “far center” with how far left they’ve all gone. For real.
