American right-wing, TYVM. Just over half us aren't that stupid, although I admit their number seems to be growing.

    I don't know... plenty of "left-wing" in Amerika are still blaming Russia for everything and also being paranoid about Communism.

    Over half of Americans aren't anti-capitalist, please be real

    I didn't say that. The meme is about blaming communists for capitalist problems. That's almost entirely a right-wing thing.

    This part is technically correct, since both mainstream US parties and their voters are right wing

    Love when you guys make sweeping generalizations & assumptions. Yeah, a good number of Democratic voters fit your profile, but there's another significant number (including yours truly) who've only voted for them for lack of choice, and in an attempt to keep the even worse candidate from winning. Just because we have no choice doesn't mean we actually want who we wind up having to vote for.

    America does not have a "left-wing"

    You are all just right of center peeps.

    Of course. You know EVERY single person's perspectives well enough to make such sweeping generalizations.

    🙄

    I'm well aware, and agree the mainstream Dems of today are effectively right-wing without quite so much totalitarianism, but there's a growing number of progressives who have been making quite a few waves this year. I imagine you'd call them centrists at best, but we gotta start the rebound somewhere.

    Just over half us aren’t that stupid

    How many people voted for Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo? How many Americans supported Israel for decades? How many believed the Clintons about "Superpredators". How many bought into the notion that Medicare for All is economy-destroying, but Iraq/Afghanistan was a fight for freedom?

    How many people still think The Russians and The Chinese are secretly behind every American candidate they don't like?
