There is virtually no "Right" anymore. The last member of the Right to win a POTUS nomination was Goldwater. Ever since then the GOP has been controlled by neocons and other assorted leftists.

Using fear and race to drive people apart. Speaking of the pot calling the kettle black.

The Right is very strong in the United States. Its really hilarious how you have been bamboozled by propaganda. I'll bet you think the Democrats are left wing

I don't watch mainstream media, so I am immune to propaganda.

There is neither left nor right anymore. It is quite simply libertarian vs. authoritarian.

"Regressive social policies" ie, the traditional ways of life and society that nobody questioned until the Communists infested our government and schools and started pushing their anti-humanist propaganda on the American people.

Oh knock it off. You know damn well commies don't control the government. If they did the State would be controlling the means of production, and there'd be no privately-owned companies.

Statists control the government. If they didn't they wouldn't be Statists.

Very weak analysis it presupposes capitalist regimes can not be authoritarian they can check out Pinochet. Capitalism has nothing to do with freedom for citizens its simply an economic system.

And it looks as though that is exactly what is happening.


The radicalization of the Democratic Party is astoundingly popular

If you don't supply NAMES, this is just another anonymous opinion piece.
