Supporting genocide is right-wing, “reaching across the isle” to republicans is right wing. Failing to defend people from republican policy is right wing. Listening to corporate needs before the general public is right-wing. Failing to enact leftist policy is right-wing. Sacrificing millions of people to a disease because you’re scared people will like welfare is right-wing. Hating communist countries and sanctioning them is right-wing. Filling your party with landlords is right-wing. Being buddies with war criminals like Bush JR just because he doesn’t like Trump is right-wing. And defending literal Nazis? Yeah, I shouldn’t have to tell you that’s right-wing.
If you support the Democrats you are not a leftist, you are not progressive, you are Trump with a blue coat of paint.
I’ve been trying to convince Americans of this for years and it’s like boxing sandpaper.
The few times it did sink in, they just decided that clearly that’s how the whole world should be and it’s what makes America great that everyone is right wing.
