poll results idk like basically people that identify with that #

the left moved its base from 5 (moderate) to a 2 (far left)

while the right has only moved its base from a 6 to a 6.5

looks like during obama the left even pulled the right to a 5.. to bad all that hard work was ruined by hillary and the DNC

It's become common knowledge that the Iraq/Afghanistan War was a failure. I think that explains the party shift even though it's not true.

Oh jeez, all they can do is a "nuh-uh, the right are the real extremists".

The right does not consider it hateful to say that kids shouldn't have their genitals mutilated and given puberty blocking hormones when they're barely old enough to spell. That's a new thing, and it's extreme as fuck and it's only on the left. Who has gotten crazier on the right? There have always been the loony christian wackos, but the left's notion of some kind of ascendant army of white supremacists running around is a figment of their imagination.

The meme elon musk posted describes myself and a lot of other people. I never used to call myself conservative, but now people call *me* that based on the same beliefs I've always held.

So you think the idea that the left has gotten radically more extreme while the right has remained more or less the same in their beliefs over the same time span is wrong or?

No I think the picture doesn't describe spectrum shift. It shows zeal, not position.

Which is what I said? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
