You may as well erase that initial post. No one is bothering to read your explanations.


It's the hive mind here. The hear a right vs left jab and they're immediately on the attack. Which is why trolling them in other threads is so much fun.

This is what happens when you try to be serious. Your actual thoughts get ignored and then you're just going to lose by default due to the sheer numbers of the thing.

It is good to see who on here likes to think outside the box though.

Interesting. Facts are now a leftist position. You're not worth having a conservation with either apparently. I had some hope of it but when you just outright deny reality theres not much to discuss.

why you think this country has shifted right.


Because of the Cold War. And no one wanted to be a communist. Move to the right so we don’t get labeled as left.

The national security state. The addiction to the military complex. Agree or don’t agree, fine, but those are some of the reasons.

Do you understand what a hive mind is? Because their are people all over the spectrum arguing both sides.

Trolling is for people who can’t keep up in a real debate. Which is demonstrated by your woe is me attitude right here

And yet you couldn't be bothered to find it and link it, which was supposedly the reason for this thread.

Let me do it for you then:

Holy shite dude. You really need to work on your reading comprehension. I didn’t argue whether or not they were facts. I simply argued that the facts you posted are at direct odds with your argument.

Exactly. It was also seizing the opportunity to try and shape the economic future of the country as they saw fit.

It's funny how Nazis are now left wing when they're about as far right as you can get.

The Cold War was 30 years ago and now more and more people have no problem being labeled a socialist, which is much closer to communism than anything else in this country. And wearing a Che Guevara t shirt is in style. So again, the country has moved to the left, not the right.

Raising taxes is a right wing position?

You're such a crybaby bitch.

Defend your position instead of whine and threaten to take your ball and go home when someone attacks it.

Every major corporation just spent a month pandering to gays and you're in here saying without any actual evidence that the country has shifted right.

Prove it.

That’s like the third time Nazis have been brought up in this conversation. It’s ridiculous. The electorate as a whole is much closer to Stalinism than it is to Nazis.

Well, that is clearly no longer the case.

No longer the case anymore either

That's very much bipartisan

You can make that case

Ah, my mistake. I re-read it and saw what you meant. I think I've misread your entire position. My bad, I was wrong. It also goes back to that entire discussion over what right vs left actually means.

In the sense you're saying it, I think, you're right. I was meaning more in the sense of the common day meaning of it.

That's also why I favor the liberty or freedom vs state continuum. The whole right vs left is just a smokescreen designed to keep people infighting and not seeing the bigger issues.

They were a socialist party. That's not really a right wing position.

You're an idiot. If you read what I said you would have realized I already addressed things like that.

Yeah I read where you said we should ignore any evidence that doesn't fit your argument.

Got anything else?

You knew exactly what you were doing when you posted that “it’s amazing how far right the country has shifted” line earlier

No it's not. It's pretty clear how this country has shifted much more to the right economically.


You’re right, the New Deal, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Great Society, Obamacare, Medicare/Medicaid for all, free college for all, monthly stipends from the government. and going after the “1%” are all right wing policies/beliefs.

I’m sure many more can go further into the weeds than I regarding economic policies of both parties and where they’ve screwed the citizenry. However, every single major increase in the size of government over the size of my wallet has come at the hands of left wing politicians.
