Left - Right Politics: No Longer Applicable? image - Free Debate Community

What has become the right is now a parody of Faux News, its entirely incoherent and in a deep rage. Everywhere, a Mexican or ISIS member is out to get them; its all nationalistic egotism and no substance. Between the genuine fascists, the majority who are simply corrupt politicians, and the glorified anarchists(aka libertarians) that seem to hate the US more than anything, there is a glue composed of fear and nationalism that keeps them vaguely on the same page.

The left, it hardly exists in any official capacity and just north of the border Canada puts the US' concept of "right/left" to shame. Democrats are mostly nothing more than seeming-compassionate conservatives by western standards and most are generally less corrupt than their Republican counterparts, as if being less **** were much a selling point. What little of the left that exists in an organized capacity is shared by a majority of Democratic Socialists, a sadly notable number of intellectually bankrupt "progressives" and a tiny group of pathetic SJWs with trigger warnings tattooed to their foreheads right under their brightly-dyed hair.

Media would tell you the US is largely conservative but when one considers the ever-growing number of atheists and the fact that the majority of them are some flavor of leftist, how true can that be. It has been my suspicion for a long while and I generally now believe that the vision of a conservative America is nothing more than an oligarch's convenient lie; a byproduct of the US citizen's apathy and the ambitions of the wealthy. It is a rare day when Reagan is mentioned and even more uncommon is it when he's not being used as a negative reference; conservatives aren't popular in the zeitgeist while almost all national heroes—spare generals and their soldiers—are leftists or at the very least liberal. Now an old white man, derided by the same old conservative establishment voices, is seen to be credible by most. In my own experience: It hardly took any effort on my part to turn a mid-western libertarian and make him a liberal-sympathizer who makes Trump jokes with regularity. I didn't bury him in liberal media, I simply responded earnestly and made my case in short sweet bursts because if I am truly anywhere near correct a simple nudge should and does in my experience suffice.

You may find hillbillies waving their guns around as if its somehow a revolutionary act rather pathetic. You'll probably be disgusted by 'proud fat people.' You probably aren't a fan of laws that stop people from marrying or smoking whatever they want. You probably hate the pampered whiners demanding "safe spaces." The fact is, these two broad sides are sides for a reason. Sure both have a majority membership that is human, though I can't vouch for most conservatives in that department I can say at the very least that it isn't beyond reason to find agreement beyond one's 'side.' We're simply seeing the birth of a new center in a nation suffocated by warmongers and corporatism.
