I would argue we have two leftist parties and no conservative parties, but I suspect I lean to the right of US mean and you lean to the left of the US mean?

- ceejayoz 5y agoIf you think the Republicans are leftist, I suspect lean is a misnomer.
- jandrese 5y agoI'm slightly scared to ask what a right wing party would look like if the current Republican party is considered leftist.
- CRConrad 5y agoThe answer to that wouldn't even invoke Godwin's Law, because you'd be too far right for thst to apply.
- nebula8804 5y agoIt would look like complete loss of credibility for the US as a country to look up to(and the consequences that go with that). Our hero is in another castle.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoThat's a really interesting perspective to me, as I feel the opposite (I'm not a US citizen or resident though). Can you clarify what a US conservative party would look like?
- ohCh6zos 5y agoI feel like a conservative party would abolish whole classes of social programs and remove the complexity of taxation instead of a constant debate over what percentages were correct while the national debt shoots out of control on their watch. They would be isolationist instead of different flavors of world police. They would be incredibly self-limiting constitutionalists which would dramatically limit their own power, instead of the constant fascistic expansions of power.
