    This post seems to have rustled someone’s jimmies, all the comments were downvoted when I showed up.

        Like the German Nazis who became committed Stalinists after the war, the only difference for many is what team colors they’re currently wearing.

          It really isn’t. Does the CNT resemble the Falanguists? Does Pinochet’s economically neoliberal dictatorship resemble Stalin’s bureaucratic collectivism in anything except that they were both dictatorships?

          There are certain cowards who have few ideals and cling to power. They’re bullies who love licking the boots of those stronger than them and stomping on the faces of those who are weaker. Like I said though, such people hold few ideals. To formulate your idea of the political spectrum on such people is foolish.

          Best of luck to you. And screw Tucker Carlson.
