This is a pretty poor argument. It's not really coherent. > When has there ever been a seriously fiscally conservative Presidential Candidate? > All Republican candidates pander to the religious right without being actually religious. These aren't relevant to whether or not Trump is "extreme right." A politician who is more in line with them (like a Ted Cruz or Paul Ryan) would be more right-wing. > Buchanan was considered one of the most right wing candidates in modern politics and he was very much pro tariffs. > Trump is also very friendly with the NRA. Reagan was all about gun control - at least when Black folks were exercising their rights (the Muliford Act) These are just very cherry-picked examples of other politicians whose policies were also not 100% right-wing. That doesn't change the fact that tariffs and gun control (e.g. banning bump stocks) are not right wing positions. > He might support gay marriage but he also tried to remove health care from the transgender. He wanted to repeal Obamacare completely, but yes, that would include coverage for transgender people. I guess to me words still have meaning. If Trump is "extreme right", then "extreme right" doesn't mean anything except "I'm on the left and I don't like this guy." But I suppose that's the norm in 2020.
