It all depends on what one means by ‘right’ vs. ‘left.’ I don’t think that those labels — which I believe originate in seating conventions in peri-revolutionary France — are particularly relevant to American politics. Is free trade right-coded or left-coded? Tariffs? Drug policy?
- otterley 2y agoSorry, what is your point? The subject here is whether it is partisan to describe someone as having a far-right ideology, and whether that appellation is generally accurate. This term is well understood.
- orwin 2y agoFar right is reactionary, going back to previous systems/time. MAGA is definitely a reactionary (I.e: far right) movement, it's in the title. There is also a hierarchical component to far right movements, which MAGA didn't completely had the first time around, so it is more complex, but you can do with that definition.
