      It’s an interesting exercise, and I have to assume your point of reference is TNCR itself. Surely in Canada Renauda is center right if not just plain old right.

      George is more conservative than Horace in most respects. He’s just not Trumpist.

      But Horace makes sympathetic noises about single payer healthcare, for example, that you’d never hear George make.

      Anyway, besides quibbles like that it seems pretty good.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Correct.

        On some people, I just wasn't sure. Somethings I thought the were one side or the other, but wasn't too sure so just guessed!! LOL

          Well yeah but you'd be incapable of establishing what 'Trumpist' means beyond 'doesn't share my visceral hatred of the man'.

                40 years ago what you think of as center would have been the Left. Forty years ago had someone done that list they would have said I was a centrist. But the thing is, I haven't moved one inch from where I was 40 years ago. The center shifted.

                  I think an even better word for his supporter (not followers) would be AMERICANS.

                  Calling Trump supporters "followers" is insulting. It implies we are members of a cult. The cult is the Left, those suffering from TDS are the cultists.

                    So, anybody who doesn't support him isn't a real American. Right, nothing cult-like there, at all.

                      I have no idea what I'd label myself as anymore. There's no prominent platform out there that doesn't subscribe to a Yellow Dog ideology, so to hell with all of them.

                      CL or no, I'll say this for nothing: I'm far more comfortable hanging with Trumpists these days than anyone woke.

                        The only reason the visceral, destructive hatred of Trump isn't shameful is because all the people who feel it are surrounded by people who also feel it. These sorts of things only become shameful with historical perspective, if ever.

                          I didn't say that. You're the one drawing lines, not me.

                          But now that you mention it, let's consider the actions of your side of the aisle and see how American they are.. burning flags, infanticide, attempting to make us a Socialist country, chanting "fuck America", and on an on. That's the side you're on, whether you are willing to admit it or not. And that's not American.

                            I know that would simplify things, but that doesn't make it true.

                                Whatever you say, Larry. Always the voice of reason.

                                You paint anybody who doesn't agree with you as an imbecile, or an extremist, or both.

                                  No, I paint anyone who is on the left as mentally ill. And the proof of that is all over the place.

                                    I actually despair of the political situation. I don't see anything good happening.

                                    And for the record, I dislike enormously the flag burning, the rioting and looting, the chanting of 'fuck America' and so on.

                                    If you want to paint me as a villain or a hard-leftist, that's your prerogative, but it's still a load of laughable old bollocks.

                                      Me, neither. More than usual, these two candidates are both supremely bad. I can see a road to ruin for this my beloved country with either of them.

                                      Though I don't regard it as inevitable.

                                      My sole hope is that Biden, being of the political class and having spent beaucoup years in the political system, will be less of a loose cannon and may be more amenable to working with the other branch.

                                          @Doctor-Phibes said in Doesn't Really Mean Anything, but fun thought exercise:

                                          I actually despair of the political situation. I don't see anything good happening.

                                          And for the record, I dislike enormously the flag burning, the rioting and looting, the chanting of 'fuck America' and so on.

                                          If you want to paint me as a villain or a hard-leftist, that's your prerogative, but it's still a load of laughable old bollocks.

                                          Why shouldn't I? Isn't that exactly what you did to me when you labeled me as a "Trumpist" and said I was a "follower"?
