I dont get why soyjack is used to represent trump supporters. They really need to use a caricature that more accurately represents how trump voters tend to look, you know? The best insults work when they are as close to the truth as possible.

That would require effort and creativity though.

Let's not even go into the left wing concept of fascism vs the reality.
 
What Americans consider leftist is really centrist. Even your democrat party has huge corporate sponsors.

I wouldn't worry too much about ''leftists'' or ''communism''. You're about as far away from that as it gets. Trumpy even cut off the EBT and I wouldn't be surprised if all public schools in low income areas gradually turn ''charter'' over the next decade.

Like many people who make this argument, you're equating leftism with economics and nothing else, but social issues have always played as large or larger of a role in this division. The current rampant fixation (borderline fetishization) on troons, alphabet people, and anyone who's not a part of the racial majority across pretty much the entire media to the point where expressing disapproval of it makes you an instant outsider is hardly "right wing." It'd be more accurate to say that the US is liberal, both economically and socially, and both parties are basically in agreement to maintain that.

Also, America very much does have legitimate commies and socialists, they've just been marginalized, although the Democratic Party has been flirting with them more and more, making the idea that they could be mainstreamed within the next couple of decades pretty believable.

Considering that people were freaking out about people/corporations donating to the wrong BLM.... yeah, it's not really that decentralized.

Wouldn't surprise me. Marx and Engels communist manifesto is dated because it advocates for a revolution of the Proletariat to overtake their masters and seize control of production if I'm not mistaken. My point being the left has moved far away from worker rights and criticism to the state, unless it was against someone they didn't like Trump or Thatcher. Today the left is a parody of themselves that is anarchist questioned their relationships with leftism because leftists might be the enemy of the Man, but the left was more than willing to set-up their own government in place; that ironically will be more oppressive than the Man was before them.

They've also become the party of the lumpenproles instead of what was traditionally considered the working class.

Both sides have gone through some weird shifts, but the right is at least somewhat recognizable because a lot of its shifts have consisted of adopting certain aspects that the left displayed at various points in history for pragmatic reasons. This isn't new either, fascism adopted some economic positions that were similar to the left's to appeal to the working class. But on the left side, a lot of the idea behind the ideology as that you don't look to history, you reject it and chase after something new because newer is always better and the wisdom of the ancients is evil and oppressive. So after a while there's nowhere to go but into batshit insanity, because sometimes things have been rejected and stigmatized throughout history for a reason.

Nah. Take a look into Boris Johnson's in the U.K policies (hugely capitalist - Thatcher level) or Angela Merkel in Germany and you'll see otherwise. Merkle's party is even socially conservative, German abortion laws are more restrictive than many U.S states for example with a panel deciding whether or not a woman can even ''get one''.
 
So the only part of the world you care about is western Europe?

Fuck off, racist piece of shit.

Reminds me of that "infographic" around the 2016 election showing dictators and the numbers of people they killed. For Mao and Stalin those numbers were listed as "alleged", while for Trump the potential number of deaths was absurdly high because they were listing every minority in America as someone Trump might potentially kill.

It was fucking hilarious and I love that image but not for the reason the creator intended.
