That's my definition, too. What defines someone who is "Far Right"?
That would be you, prime example!! But then I would call anyone that reveres Trump to be far right. He's not left, he's not just right, he's far right.

Ooh, well, I was a Democrat until several years ago. Does changing my political party make me Far Right?That would be you, prime example!!
When you have ANTIFA in the streets as your representatives, more people are going to fall towards, I guess, far right.This has created a severely warped mindset on what 'the left' means in the US. And allowed for a lot more extreme right to be seen as the norm.

I lost my faith in the Democrat Party when they propped up Hillary as their nomination for president. Now they are foisting Biden. I don't see how I could possibly be considered far right--unless simply disagreeing with the politics of others makes me one.That would seem to be where you're coming from, you don't come across as a moderate.
Okay. Have the Proud Boys been labeled as such. If so, why are they still on the loose. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, strange name for a right wing extremist. Something is adding up here. I have to tell you, they visited my home town and were very peaceful, even cleaned up after themselves before leaving. I much prefer their company over left wing extremists. All they do is beat innocent people, spray paint hate on the city walls, and break store windows (with the occasional theft and looting). Whatcha think.right wing extremists are the bigger threat for terrorism
Do you think it will show in this coming election?
Yes, the Republican Congress was of little use to Trump when they were in power. I suppose it depends on what you want from them.Possibly not, only because they seem pretty unified in their opposition to Trump. But if and when Trump is defeated, Biden's role may be more that of a "damage control officer." Even if the Democrats wind up controlling the White House and both Houses of Congress, there will still be rivalries, infighting, and disagreement.
As long they aren't insulting each other like juveniles, degrading those with disabilities, recklessly saber rattling, and bragging about sexually assaulting women I do not care. Let them fight - just as long as they don't tweet about it like a little kid.Possibly not, only because they seem pretty unified in their opposition to Trump.

As someone with my political leanings I HOPE that the left is fractured. Its the awakening of disillusioned young people realizing Democrats just aren't actually liberal. They are too afraid to latch onto single payer healthcare or major police reform. So this unrest is the molting process. It will pass. The struggle is the moderate centrists in current power attempting to squash the leftist surges and the leftist are attempting to drag the democratic party kicking and screaming just a few feet to the left.If the Left side of politics is fractured, in your opinion, who do you blame? The most vocal and most active around here has been these characters.
Perhaps you believe it is a whole. From my perspective it is terribly confusing, so much so that their own candidates don't know how to manage their own constituents.
Your thoughts?

How so?
I'm not sure about Antifa. My best guess is that in the US, they'd be considered "radical left", while on a global scale, they'd just be considered "left".
The right appear to be able to get behind their candidate at crucial times (eg Trump in '16) but the left seem to stick to their factions and either not voting or speaking out against the chosen candidate.If the Left side of politics is fractured, in your opinion, who do you blame?

Nationalism, "small" government, "traditional" family roles, "law and order".That's my definition, too. What defines someone who is "Far Right"?
It's a relative term, defined by what ideas are at the center/mainstream of acceptable political discourse.That's my definition, too. What defines someone who is "Far Right"?

The people in the streets has nothing to do with a "left" fracturing. But a democracy fracturing.Please explain. Who are these people in the streets?
