Oh cry me a river. What do you want Trump to do more than he has already done to push the conservative/right wing agenda in the US? Crackdown on immigration? Check. Push conservative judges in Supreme Courts and other lifetime tenures? Check. Slash taxes for the wealthy? Check. Attempt to disband Obamacare? Check. Push for religion in schools? Check.

You should have rather used the popular vote results to make your point about how unpopular he is.
Not exclusively right wing, leftists are exclusively against it not traditional liberals.
Nothing the left does not do when in temporary power
Pro big business just like the first point is not exclusively a right wing thing
More anti-socialist than pro-conservative
Pandering to his right leaning voter base, just as the left panders to their voterbase
Funny thing, if you use that it actually makes the case better, since it shows the right to have even less power socially than the left does.

Trump is on the right despite anything else he may or may not be. His ideas or whatever he believes in intersects in large parts with whatever the current definition of conservative is in the US.
And as for the right not having any actual then who has, because it is obviously not the left. Is it the Illuminati or some other shadowy deep state thing?
True, also the time of the rise of the neocon. Both left and right started becoming corrupt at that point.

Strong cup of lies? Literally in the autopsy done by the state coroner.Nothing like a strong cup of lies first thing in the morning
How Did George Floyd Die? Here’s What We Know
A private autopsy commissioned by the family concluded that his death was a homicide, brought about by compression of his neck and back by Minneapolis police officers.www.nytimes.com
The sad thing is that they cling to so many lies when the truth is right there on video.
And yeah, I'm sure the autopsy done by the city had no reason to find no blame for the copsBootlickers love to bootlick, I guess
So we believe state coroner autopsies on literally everything else except for this because it doesn't conclude with what we want...? Cool.
No it's called being even handed and not pushing a "victors write the books" mentality.

Erm that’s exactly why I told you to use it.
Does Lincoln trigger your sensibilities?
Lincoln turned a divided country around and brought it together. Incomparable feats compared to some random slave trader, that nobody gave 2 ducks about 2 days ago.
No he leans to the right more than the left, this does not make him right wing.... and he clearly has never been a fundamentalist christian of any sort.
How is it not the left? Everything in murica revolves around leftist ideas and rightist ideas are by definition considered either stupid or evil. People on the left assault people on the right with impunity simply because they are not also on the left. There is no real right wing media that is allowed to function, fox news is neocon not right wing but many call it far right while they clearly have no idea of what far right actually is.

I seriously don't know how anyone can even watch this nonsense. Mean I absolutely agree with demilitarizing the police ,but this idiot can't make it 2 minutes in without portraying the police as all bad and the protesters as all good. Are the attention span so short on the left that they already forgot about the looting when they watch this on their stolen tv.
Does this not bode well with you? You were overtly religious in the past.
I tend to prefer to use stats that have actual political effect rather than emotional validation.... also I get irritated when people bring up the popular vote as if it actually matters politically.
Sorry, I misunderstood.

You forgetting a little fact about a dirty cop keeping his knee on the okes neck for 8+minutes.
Your victim card is being played hard here.
People on the right do the same. Insult, denigrate and gaslight people on the left. There are entire groups of right wing people who get together and plot how to kill leftists.
The recent mass shootings in America have been largely driven by disaffected right wing terrorists who play at nothing other than persecution complex, waving their victim cards about, based on existential non-existant threats.
Lincoln pulled a Athens and forced war where none was legally justified because he wanted to keep the empire a empire. Allowing vassals to secede would mean dissolution of empire and the loss of power for Washington..... Lincoln might not have like to call it that but he was just as much an imperialist as Churchill.
Slavery is something that entered in after the fact.
Also like I said, it's about even handedness.
That would be the far right
I have noticed a lot of lefties here accuse righties of gaslighting as soon as the narrative does not suit them.... a childish defence mechanism really, "no one is allowed to think differently so as soon as someone does he must be conspiring against me"... it's a ridiculous strawman.
At this point I just ignore anything anyone says as soon as he brings up gaslighting because chances are he is being disengenous.
Yes mass shootings.... something that never happened when america was more conservative..... also most mass shootings are either crazies (the columbine killers were marxists) or false flags.
