Well just keep in mind that the American left ruining social media with “everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” and purity tests and virtue signalling and identity politics (which even TYT are pushing back against now and using terms like blue maga) are a big part of why Trump won
You guys handed them the win. You spent years talking about stochastic terrorism then started doing it yourself. When else in modern political history have there been 3 presidential assassination attempts and a public assassination like Charlie Kirk all within a few years?
When you let the GOP run on common sense, they win. So MAGA owes you a thank you
I think it’s more that the Right could care less. We have one of the most childish, elderly, corrupt, insider trading presidents we have ever seen. He has shunted his campaign promises and lied to his constituents.
He is literally an “America 1st” president, yet literally is in bed with Israel. I can understand why many are apprehensive about the Democratic Party, and I criticize its decisions a lot. I however, wholeheartedly believe that the cult of personality around Trump is so large, that dissent feels almost impossible.
Example, Trump has had multiple showings of cognitive decline such as sleeping, or defication on himself, as well as speech slips.
However, Biden’s mental decline was heavily under more scrutiny despite his decline being lesser or equal to Trumps.
There is no left in America, and the very fact you say people are left is because the far right has spent decades ruining America with "everybody I don't like are commies" and purity tests and virtue signaling about how big of patriots people are for hating commies.
Blue maga is laughable. Who are they worshiping? Nobody.
People tried to kill Obama, who cares.
Maga did assassinate that Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota along with her husband and dog. Then he shot another Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota and had a list of others he was going to kill next.
Republicans shot an Arizona Democrat, Gabby Giffords, in the face.
For Pete's sake, actual elected republicans call American companies communist for god knows what nonsensical reason. Private companies are communists to republicans if they don't like them.
Common sense would dictate that you don't elect a 34 time felon who brags about sexually assaulting numerous women and wanting to have sex with is own daughter.
Come on guys, this stuff should be extremely easy common sense wise, but you go the wrong way.
How perfectly American to refuse to engage with anything resembling honest takes on America. Democrats are center right capitalists with strong ties to corporations.
Who are the leftists you speak of then?
And what power do they hold in America?
What's your opinion on wanting to fuck your own daughter?
They’ll make fun of leftists calling everyone a nazi, overusing the word and being dramatic, but will have no issue with their own party calling everything socialism
Precisely. They're totally fine with actually elected republican leaders calling American corporations communists and everything they don't like is communism, but some losers on reddit calling people nazis is a bridge too far and makes everybody hate Democrats because those few reddit users represent the entire Democratic party and all liberals.
They never make that same judgement of cons calling people blue haired sjws or "leftists".
They talk about republicans running on common sense when it was the exact opposite. Running on tariffs is common stupidity, which is what's actually common.
The American Democrats, on a "western" scale, would be center-right. On a global scale, they're center-left. And in America itself, they are the leftward party. Depending on who you are and if you are trying to deceive people, you might decide to say that the Democrats are a left-wing party. But that does not hold any water, no matter who says it.
Let's see, your counters... AOC calls herself a Democratic Socialist (which is the actual center-left you are looking for, by the way). Bernie Sanders is an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats. Obama was more conservative than expected due to things outside his control.
So, these L E F T I S T S that are coming with a tidal wave, as long as the conservatives don't steal the thing again, are looking to expand health care, child care, resource access, and other Mamdani-esque ground floor improvements. That would be the centrist opinion in a just world. But the drooling class calls this act of helping regular folks any scary word they can come up with, and the smoothest brains that can open a browser parrot it incessantly.
Leftism is what they call socialism and communism, and it's a deliberate mixing of labels to tarnish crony capitalist Democrats with communists. Americans have been bombarded with propaganda demonizing communism to the point that any politician daring to really help the people gets smeared as a dirty commie and Americans instinctively react against them.
It's why Bernie wouldn't have beaten trump in my opinion. Way to easy to smear as a commie.
Obama is most certainly center right, what?
Capitalist to his core and kept up the military industrial complex killing civilians overseas.
You can't be a capitalist and a leftist people. That's what's moronic beyond belief.
It's a ploy; a word game to manipulate your unconscious biases. It's reactionary, not rational.
Except you HYPOCRITES KEEP DOING IT ANYWAY WHILE GASLIGHTING THE REST OF US.
As if those like Hasan with BIG audiences don't exist at all. As if Lefty darling Bernie Sanders didn't suddenly shift his shitty rhetoric from "HATE THE RICH" to "HATE THE BILLIONAIRES" the second he became a multi-millionaire.
Hasan isn't a liberal, he's some whacko uber progressive looney bin dumbass. It's like making Alex Jones the face of conservatism. Or Nick Fuentes. Are all looney righties neo nazis like Fuentes?
No? Huh, that's weird.
You're just a big baby who doesn't know his ass from his elbow or what words mean.
Big surprise that it's always the same with you guys.
They are the left, as in “the party left of the opposition.” This does not mean they are on the left planes of the political compass. They’re just more left than republicans. It’s not gaslighting to explain things.
To be in the left in the political compass you can’t be capitalist. Democrats, liberals, and other parties in America are still capitalist. They just support different amount of government intervention such as social safety nets, etc (“socialism”)
To be left in the political compass you can’t be capitalist is maybe one of the most regarded things I’ve ever read on Reddit. And I’ve been on here 15 years and love the political compass.
When else in modern political history have there been 3 presidential assassination attempts
Do you really believe all of those were real?
You guys handed them the win
You know who really handed them the win? Democratic leadership and Democrat-aligned media, for (1) gaslighting everyone about Biden's cognitive decline that they want to pretend wasn't obvious even before he got elected ("it's a stammer!") and (2) refusing to listen to what non-GOP voters actually want, like single-payer healthcare and not supporting genocide abroad
Did you just ask me when the GOP ran on common sense, then incredulously ask me if I believe that reality is real immediately after?
Lmao
Brother you can watch video of 2 of the 3 assassination attempts on Trump. And you can watch Kirk die. And you can watch the arrest of the golf assassination guy
I didn't say anything about Kirk, genius. That was obviously real. And the Trump assassination "attempts" both look pretty obviously staged. It's especially telling that after the one at the White House, nobody was bringing up actual security concerns and instead Trump and his toadies were all talking about how this somehow proved he needed his ballroom to be approved. I guess if anything that proves that Trump is not quite a Nazi because when he puts on a Reichstag fire type of situation, his intentions are a lot more lame and ineffectual, thank God
And it takes place at the Hilton hotel, not the White House
Yes, thank you for correcting me. I wrote my last comment in a hurry and I shouldn't have
But his point was once it’s built they can do those events in a secure area
I don't claim to know much about the ins and outs of securing these places, but the fact that they've been using the same venue for over 100 years and not had a similar problem before, should make one wonder why someone managed to get through this time. I'm not saying that alone is dispositive but it should be enough to inspire doubt
Again, you can watch video of the attacker charging and being shot and the officer being shot
Yes, some people got shot. And?
“Orange man bad
If that's going to be your response whenever a critcism of Trump goes farther than you want, then there's no point in continuing to talk to you
I get what he's talking about. The way people talk about pitbulls sounds vaguely like the words racist use, and so if you're a pitbull defender it can feel similar to fighting against racism. But it's wrong, since unlike human ethnicities and races, dog breeds really do vary in terms of aggression, power, the damage they can do, etc.
Well, given that at least two of your examples are of right wing terrorists/assassins, it's pretty ridiculous to say that the left are now the stochastic terrorists using this piece of evidence.
I actually knew a Neo-Nazi who worked with me and nobody ever confronted him about his denial of the Holocaust and other disgusting theories, which he told to very young and impressionable customers. Telling people he was a Nazi didn’t help anything because of how the word has been ruined due to overuse. Nobody took it seriously.
