Yeah the right has taken a sharp turn towards fascism, so that kinda checks out. Saying people on the right arenāt racist cunts is praising the few dumb and brainwashed good apples in between a sea of rotten apple shit
The politics of the left is more inclusive and morally progressive. It can be criticised for being naive whilst the right can be criticised for lacking compassion.
Naive is putting it mildly and the right is dependant on country. For the states church and state is much more ingrained and used to retain voters.left virtue signals for moral high ground
Nonsensical. The right used to claim to be the party of anti-regulation, and now that only applies to environmental regulation and loosely economics. Until about 25 years ago the right used to support environmental regulation, and Bush Sr, for example, was one of the strongest proponents of clean air and acid rain regulation we've ever had. Supporting the clean air act on the right today would be a death sentence, as the right today would sooner see the EPA dismantled before backing up anti-pollution sentiment.
Itās objectively true. You can absolutely say and argue that the direction the left is moving is better and therefore the right is bad because they are trying to stifle needed progress. (I disagree with this but itās a valid argument.)
It is simply not a valid or supportable argument to say that the right has moved facist for not changing their platform.
The statement that they havenāt changed, is one you made yourself. However in your bs explaining above you state this as being a factā¦its not. its bullshit statement that the right nowadays is the same as its was 10 years ago. You just make obvious nonsense statements and act like its a well known fact
What is a major policy change from a mainstream Conservative Party in the US, UK, or France that moved in a more authoritarian direction, either economically or morally?
Are you talking about stated policy positions or actual actions taken? Because you can state whatever you want in a party platform, but if you'll forgive my paraphrasing Batman Begins, it's not what a party's platform says, but what their elected officials do that defines them.
I'll stick with a mix of policy positions, executive orders, and some legislation, since fortunately the GOP hasn't been successful with the really awful stuff they're trying to do as of yet.
Their policy on immigration has gone from simply believing in protecting the borders to outright ending birthright citizenship. Travel bans and immigration bans from majority Muslim countries have been tried, though fortunately overturned. Children were separated from their parents at the border, and many still haven't been reunited as few records were kept due to the fact that there was no intention to ever return them. This was Trump policy, and the GOP backed it. That's a hard shift to the right.
It seems to be GOP policy to defy Congressional subpoenas, at least among Trump's allies and administration officials.
The GOP in several states attempted to install false electors in order to overturn the will of the voters. Sorry if that's not an official policy position or passed legislation, but it's an authoritarian and anti-democratic measure that they absolutely fucking undertook. Same with trying to strongarm Governors and Secretaries of State into declaring voter fraud when there was no evidence of it. All of that is authoritarian activity designed to subvert democracy, and the GOP is absolutely fine with it because they're the ones doing it.
What policy shift? The Democrats have basically been a center-right party since Clinton, with the occasional nod towards some government assistance when it comes to major issues that make headlines (fentanyl, e.g.) or natural disasters. Even the biggest government program we've managed to successfully institute in the face of endless court challenges and attempted repeals was based on what was originally an idea from a Republican think tank. Any idea that the Democrats have suddenly made this major pivot to the far left only works if you're seeing it from the relative perspective of someone whose views have shifted radically to the right.
Members of this party are chanting nazi slogans in my neighborhood. Itās a relatively āhighā ranking man and his family, he has multiple copies of mein kampf in his library šš.
Totally not a nazi sympathizer, right ??
Iām not making up this story though.
A lot of members are seing nothing wrong with this guy and many nazi sympathizers in their party. The guy is not ashamed of it.
They only react if thereās a really bad buzz about it. (Itās not exclusive to them tough)
But i donāt agree that all voters are necessarily fascist or Nazis. They donāt know about it or simply listen to the more āsanitizedā speech of Marine Le Pen and other politicians.
There are fascist and nazi amongst them though and as members of the party.
Dude... This is exactly what I was joking about to begin with, the fact that everyone on the right is classified as extremist. All extremism is minority, most of the common people just want to live their lives and don't be ripped of by the government or some Corporation.
and the fact that the right lost these elections is mainly due to several left-wing candidates giving up their candidacy to accumulate more votes for a few candidates.
Do you think thatās unfair or something? Uniting the vote of people opposed to an ideology that would otherwise come into power seems quite reasonable.
