These days it seems that anyone that doesn't worship the Democratic party is now called "right wing". What's your opinion?

They call Bernie supporters 'alt right' and anyone who votes Green they call far worse. Their only response to the record of their own party, actions their own party are fully complicit in, is to ask "do you want Dole/Bush/Bush/McCain/Romney/Trump to 'win'?" Those bastards all won long ago, Dole and McCain maybe winning the birth-lottery less so than the others and they certainly lived tougher lives than the others, but the only win I want neither the Dems nor the gop could not care less about.

I have been called all the usual vicious labels for perfectly reasonable positions on things like freedom of speech, immigration, western civilization...

I don't think the labels are relevant anymore, honestly. The left only wants to know if you are for or against them. I'm against them so I get all the slurs.

I am a gay man who is so far right I make Pat Robertson look like a commie pinko. I'm not kidding about that. I won't even watch Julie Andrews movies because she supports tr-ns propaganda and sells it to children on a fucking puppet show. I think they are more harmful to society than pornography.

Quick q: is this US-specific?

The sub, or this specific thread?

I don't think the sub is, but it would seem that this thread is.

Either way, it wasn't specifically stated so I wouldn't mind hearing how it is outside the US!

I say to hell with all mainstream political parties! Two faced, crooked and corrupt are both sides of the isle.

Not sure. I haven't been following left-wing spaces much. There are people who show up here complaining about all the horrible "Nazis" which I feel like says something about them that they're eager to point that out about everyone. But then again, there are actual people here who go around choosing gross nicknames and posting racial slurs.

On second thought, I think I agree with you, judging by the atmosphere in /s/GenderCritical. It's very easy to get called racist or homophobic or whatever and I guess people assume that's "right wing".

I have been called a communist and a fascist so many times I'm starting to think they were both right on many key issues but didn't go far enough and attacked the wrong people.

I say let them. We see more and more groups and individuals turning against the hard left because of it. It's a self defeating purity spiral, and the best we can do is let them get on with it.

I've got called scum etc for not being a liberal they automatically assumed I was a conservative and hacked on me .

Like there's more things just liberal and conservatives.

Like me I'm a independent, naturalist, equalistist

I'm on a lot of right wing pages though because I can a totally have a conversation without insults by them. Unlike liberals who jump to " I'm in fear for my life" when you wasnt even talking to them.

Like if we say fuck holidays or something. Lol

Yeah. I seldom here people openly state their opinions if they reside in the middle ground.

I am proud to be right-wing. PS: Reddit can suck my dick.
