> American politics have gotten pulled so far to the right, center is pretty right wing. Idk how you can deny that? 80+ million of us Americans voted in record numbers for the left leaning candidate, our biggest media platforms promote left leaning message, right wing individuals have been censored, etc. Maybe not everybody in the United States is left leaning, but I wouldn’t call this a politically right leaning country. Also, the only irony I see is that this thread continues. You already alluded I reply like a ring wing troll. Perhaps it’s better we both disengage as this is going nowhere.

your not reading what I'm writing left: |---|---| right left: |-------|-------|right edit: i cant get the lines to line up, the beggining of the first line is supposed to be like two dashes over the right has gotten more extreme than the left has gotten extreme. if you think your in the middle, your really just right wing becasue the right has gotten insane. thats my point. your free to prove me wrong when ever by explaining your thoughts on policy though

  Your argument is based on a perception of America favoring right extremist ideology. Meanwhile for every popular extreme ideology on the right there is a counter extreme on the left ideology. We have people advocating for extreme capitalism and people advocating for a socialist regime. Opposed citizen militias such as Proud Boys and Antifa. Individuals who want a wall around the country and people who believe in open borders. The examples don’t end there. We have extremes with plenty of support on both ends and unless you can bring data that indicates there is a concentration of individuals in one side, you cannot infer America is becoming far right, or assume that the center is skewed to the right.

    I'm not talking about America overall leaning. I'm talking about where the concentration is Antifa isn't real, that is right wing media fear mongering The extremes of the left wing in America isn't winning races. But the extreme fringe of the right wing is. Look at who won and lost primaries. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/26/opinion/sunday/republican-platform-far-right.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/26/opinion/sunda... That first image shows what I'm talking about. America's left is center, the Republicans are all the way on the extreme right. If you think your an American center, your on the right

      >Antifa isn't real, that is right wing media fear mongering You better tell that to the lefties that label themselves antifa. What isn't real is a group called Antifa, but the anti-fascist (and anti-capitalist) movement, otherwise known as antifa, is real.

        "Anti-Fascists", who are ironically more fascist than they people they fight against.

        It's misleading to compare an ideology with an actual organization like proud boys like he did above. That's something right wing media does
