      Only leaning?

      The political options to choose from are right or far right. You can choose between the republicans 20 years ago, or the republicans of today.

      American is one of the most right wing countries in the world, only surpassed by Israel and Ukraine.

        It’s unfair to leave Poland out of that list. Israel at least has a socdem party in parliament, Poland starts at libertarianism and goes right from there.

          I don’t see what factions exist as important. But who rules. The existence of this faction may be tolerated but the fascists are in power and have been for 50 years where they’ve created an apartheid society and a deeply fascist culture. That is not really the case for Poland, which seems to be in the fledgling stage of fascist takeover.

      the US is right leaning

      … right leaning… as if it’s gentle as fuck and super duper teeny tiny from the “center”…

      The US IS the right. The US is like a fucking missile that’s taken off and violently exploded through the furthest part of the right of the spectrum, going arbitrarily further endlessly without limit.

      All right-wing governments and trends lead back to the US. All roads to the right lead to the US. Stop using soft language for the worst empire in world history.
