    • like most americans might not say their politics are "right wing," but by default supporting a major party is.colin_s
    • not sure taking your definitions from a wrong meme is any more useful.Fax_Benson
    • it's obviously a CIA joke, however the actuality of the political spectrum/where these politicians stand is much closer to the european scale.colin_s
    • trump lies on the left because he lies about being left on manufacturing to take votes from the center :Dkingsteven
    • The spectrum is relative. It’s defined by the scope of the people or parties within the scope. What you’ve written here means nothing without context.

    • If you don’t identify your frame of reference, you’re doing nothing different than someone who shares charts with no units of measurement.

    • i'd tend to agree with that stance. i think to american politics doesn't really have the scope to be far right. in europe it would be all center right...kingsteven
