Tribal brainwashing. I have seen it on the left (corporate democrats) and the right with maga. If only we could all see the real monsters in hiding, the powerful oligarchs and their corporations.
Corporate Democrats are center at best
Corporate democrats are moderate right-wing at best.
This. I hear people complain about the “far left” when the Democratic Party is at best center-right. The entire left side of the political spectrum isn’t even an option in this country.
As an European citizen I always laugh when US citizens call their democrat's “leftist”. You poor thing don’t even know what that means.
Most Americans don’t even know what capitalism is. They think it’s synonymous with commerce because that’s what we’re taught.
Thats why I get downvoted for saying if I got in office as president, Day 1, universal health care, universal basic income, everyone gets manditory free vaccines, and everybody gets slapped in the face.
People just think it's a bad idea for some reason.
Maybe because you lost your mind. Funny thing is this would put you center-left. Super authoritarian, but left of center. Try moving essential goods and services to the public sector and then we’re talking.
I hate how us politics skews the entire left right political ideology spectrum.
Like all they have is conservatives.
Conservative in a sane country.
I feel like putting it this way sane washes how significant of an issue it is on the right. It's dishonest.
Tribalism will tear us apart-... No, wait... You know what I mean.
It's the sense of belonging that's ironic. The kind of stuff Charlie Manson would work with. In the end the pursuit of inclusion isolates us to camp versus camp; prehistoric human nature didn't just go away now we have civilisation. Its 'more normal that people exercise it by pigeonholing themselves into groups like gender stereotypes or Hogwarts houses, maybe a sports team. Whatever gives them a sense of being something with kin, but not actually going too far.
This? This is going too far, but they won't bail until they feel accepted into another camp. That's what it's actually all about.
