Or, Trump has moved the Overton window of political discourse so far to the right, that most Americans don't even know what "far left" really means.

It's been a popular refrain for a long time now that both parties have moved away from the "center" and towards their own extremes, but this just isn't true. The left has moved consistently towards the center, and some case beyond the center in the last 40 years. If the democrats had moved as far to the left as republicans have in the other direction, Bernie Sanders would be a moderate in the party. Politicians in the country, on both sides of the aisle, have moved so far to the right they are coming up on the left on the other side.

Scooby said the other week that the center of this country is what the extreme right represent currently. So.......which is it?

IMO, the extreme right and the extreme left are simply that. Extremes. The Trumpers and the antifa.

He's right. Remember that Democratic mob beating three guys in NYC last weekend?

I never said that.

I said that the right represents the center cause that's how far right we've drifted. Extreme Left and Extreme Right are ill defined right now.

Keep locking kids in cages. That's the center. And that's RIGHT, not LEFT.

Brilliant. Of course the extremes are, as the word indicates, extreme. But the extreme left makes up an infinitesimal amount the 240 or so people in the U.S. house and Senate who call themselves Democrats, while the extreme right makes up the overwhelming majority of the 290 or so occupants of the House and Senate who call themselves republicans. Things are like this in plenty of statehouses and governor's mansions as well. As the governor of Michigan Mitt Romney's dad had some political positions that would be on the fringe LEFT of today's Democratic party. Congress used to be count dozens of republican senators and representatives that were pro-choice and pro-union. In 2018 how many are there? A couple who pander to the pro-choice movement on occasion and it's getting hard to find democrats who are truly friendly to labor. I gave up looking for a republican that was because for years now there haven't been any. If you don't think the parties have both moved substantially to the right you lack basic understanding of politics in this country.

Bingo.

Bingo.

Yeah that is spot on. The extreme left would basically be communists or anarchists and they hold zero power in this country. The extreme right is our racist fascist grandpa who currently occupies the White House.

So now he died in a fight?

A fight for his life, maybe. Pretty sure he didn't go in there rolling up his sleeves.

And how is that different than what I said you said?

Reading comprehension for the win. You're doing another one of your classic false equivalences. Trumpers are 40% of the population. Antifa is less than 1.

Or those Democrats hurling expletives at Nancy Pelosi the other day?

So now this POS is saying hell give huge middle class tax cuts right before the election. If you are dumb enough to believe that you deserve everything you get.

Also trying to remove protections for transgendered people. So you can shove the “both sides are bad” BS as only one party wants to make life more difficult for minorities

DGF, people tell me I "chose to be trans."

Because dealing with this really looked appealing one morning when I was having my coffee.

This is what DGF is talking about. If they get their way, there goes my surgery, there goes my gender marker change, there goes any chance of me having a passport, there goes everything.
