Watch the far right rally around this.
I'm sure you are correct, but is there a non-far right anymore?
Neoliberals?
In the US? That’d be the Democrats.
Democrats are right-wing in the rest of the sane world, try again.
Try what again? That’s exactly what I said!
Thank you for identifying yourself
Huh?
I'm sure it's theoretically possible to not want to pay your fair share of taxes, while not dunking on any particular minority.
It's rare though.
It's always just selfishness with conservatives. It's not complicated, they're just selfish assholes through and through. If you wanna know what a conservative will do, just imagine the most selfish move and voila.
Children starving or an extra $50 in property taxes, guess what the conservative picks every single time!
Generally not believing in human rights comes as a package deal.
It's surprising how quickly they come as well.
I've seen perfectly normal people go from "I felt a bit ill after that COVID vaccination, I'll look it up online" to spreading fake stories about immigrants and having opinions about Hunter Biden. Within months. They're not even American.
This shit's a fucking virus, and social media is the vector.
the majority of people are not far right.
the issue is that people who are far right, are far more likely to run for office than moderate candidates are. and run better campaigns, and win more votes.
If they're voting for the far right candidates then they are far right.
I would say they're heavily misled. What may seem obvious here is invisible on their Twitter feeds, on TV, in their communities, and even Google due to "search customisation".
Yeah, they are being lied to but part of the problem is they like the lies.
And I would say that's bullshit.
I find this to be an altruistic if naive mindset.
I don't know. I ask because I cannot explain anyone even tolerating Trump's actions in any way unless they are far right. I still know people defending his actions... Anyone opposing him in any way, the rest of America thinks is "far left". So it's a weird time...
I think they were asking if there was a non-far "right," not if there was a non-"far right."
Because they can lie with impunity while the rest of us have a conscience.
Why?
Ah, so they get elected through divine intervention, then. Logical.
Yeah, they are the ones doing the “No Kings” thoughts & prayers parades
I don't know how you people don't get tired of the same boring ass gotchas every day. We get it. You hate everyone who doesn't have your exact political beliefs.
Anyone who gives a shit that you despise anyone to the right of you is not someone whose opinion I give a flying fuck about.
You care so little that you can’t help but announce it, even
Yes I respond to every 75th message so clearly you GOT ME again. What a genius.
👍 cool. Enjoy continuing to be part of the problem.
You're helping so much by going around trolling people and doing jackshit else. Thanks a lot FrObOzX.
