    Ehhh… I’d say more functionally far-right when the ruling class is far right. They’re not far-right themselves, and calling them that WILL make them entrench.

    If you say it’s fine to entrench people against you, I’d also call you an idiot.

      Over half of the voting populace voted for this turd. Whether they like the monicker or not, they’re far right.

      If telling them they’re far right just makes them cozy up harder to the people murdering minorities in the street, they were just looking for an excuse and that was just a convenience to do what they were going to do anyway.

      I see the same shit locally. People legitimately say they’ll vote Republican before a DSA candidate, further proving that when you scratch a liberal/centrist, a fascist bleeds.

        Good job completely ignoring how propaganda works. You will succeed in nothind, and apparently be a little bitch about it the entire time, too.

          Why would I be insulted by a “centrist” defending far right voters’ feelings about being accurately labeled? I don’t value your opinion of me in the slightest if you aren’t smart enough to see that America’s center is AT BEST center-right on a good day. The republicans are a far right party, full stop, and if you disagree, I don’t know that your assessment of anything is worth much.

          Whether or not you’re smart enough to see reality and stop defending actual propaganda making you think you’re not supporting a far-right ideology, everyone else can see it for what it is and will gladly call you on it. But keep getting angry and name calling on the internet, I’m sure it makes you feel good.
