  • Not an American, but have spent a lot of time there. They have two right wing liberal parties, and a political system that actively resists any changes to that setup. As a result, they think that those are the two political extremes, and everything between them is centrist. Anyone outside of that is an extremist and not worthy of consideration. So when you criticise their party of choice, you obviously must be on the “other” side of the political spectrum, which to them is the other US political party.

    They just don’t know any better, it’s outside of their realm of experience.

    The problem with that question is that you get accusations of genocide. If you point out that it’s overblown and/or falsified to fit the narrative, it’s genocide denial. If you point out that the fine capitalist countries have done and are continuing to do worse than what they accuse communist countries of, it’s whattaboutism. If you continue to press, then the capitalist countries made a whoopsie, or it’s all the fault of one man, while communists are just bloodthirsty and evil. Evidenced by the genocide… And back to square one.
