Another win for "The Right"?

The right was winning WWII until 1943.

Quote by Chryses

It is entertaining watching the “left” battle the “right.” The “right” has had a good time recently in the US, Germany. France, Italy, Sweden, and Finland.

But the “left” has won a few, too, including Spain and Brazil.

And there's Canada where the ever-wishwashy, let's adopt whatever policy we think will win Liberals are in charge. They kind of lean center-left unless they are leaning center-right (as they did under Jean Chretien, who was socially liberal but fiscally conservative). And the center-left lean right now is mostly due to the fact that they are a minority government relying on the support of the very left-wing New Democratic Party. Who knows what happens if they either get a majority in the next election or change leader in the next few years? Our Conservative Party, on the other hand, is quite definitely conservative these days, even borrowing a page or two from the American GOP at times.

Liberal is another of those words on which English speakers seem to differ.

I see socially liberal but fiscally conservative as traditional liberal (and indeed remember that in Australia the main RIGHT party is called the Liberal Party.) Our Liberals have two groups the traditional socially liberal/fiscally conservative and the more recent socially conservative/fiscally conservative.

Counting left/right wins can be misleading too. Many US Democrats would be seen as right wing in other democracies. And the Republicans have become much less fiscally conservative than other right parties around the world.

Though what I do think is true is that governments like that in Italy are more socially conservative than their predecessors.

Unfortunately, in the USA, neither the Republicans nor Democrats offer fiscal responsibility. They both spend with great irresponsibility, but greatly disagree on what to spend on.

I wasn't unhappy with Chretien's leadership - social liberalism and fiscal conservativism (moderated by a Canadian social safety-net) isn't a bad combination. I tend to support the NDP, though. I think they're too ambitious in their agenda, and would probably be disastrous if they had real power federally, but I like them in the role of official opposition as a kind of conscience to keep the majority party in line. On the other hand, the insanity of the American political landscape makes even the Conservative Party of Canada look measured and reasonable - though less and less as our politicians (Doug Ford, etc.) try to outdo each other in imitating the tough-guy posturing of their Southern neighbors.

The first ex-wife of Trump wanted to be buried in such a lovely location where her family would never have an excuse to not come and visit her in memoriam. Look how her children's father displays his true sentiments.

All of this MAGA/Right Winning since 2015, how are the libs still standing after getting pummeled for four straight years?

Trump has no decency. He respects no one but himself, and he loves himself dearly. A proven epic liar, a cowardly draft dodger, a much fined slumlord, a paying John to pornstar hookers, a proven sexual assaulted of women, an adulterer, a Putin sock-puppet, a lover of mass murdering dictators, and this guy, Trump, is who the rightwing chooses as their leader.

Well, in the past they chose Hitler and Mussolini. I guess Trump is par for the course.

The Right keeps winning in MAGA world. All of this winning gives hope to a chronic masturbater addicted to online porn, who is running for office in 2024. And he's not the orange baboon.

Pennsylvania Republican Mark Houck, who is challenging Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick from the right in a battleground district, revealed during a 2020 interview that he “struggled” with exposure to pornography and the “sexual sin, masturbation and stuff” that resulted.

“I struggled with pornography and being exposed to it at a young age,” Houck told host Jeff Garrett. “Of course, that leads to, you know, sexual sin, masturbation and stuff. And so, that was a chronic habit that I had that just became a bad habit. Ultimately it was self-medication, I can say initially, and then it became a bad habit.”

Houck’s previously unreported remarks about his behavior are not his first open acknowledgment of his interest in porn — a 2011 report on a Catholic-centered group that he co-founded connected its work to his “16-year pornography addiction.”

Just days before the Republican Party holds it's first 2024 Presidential debate, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) took the pages of the New York Times to urge contenders for the party's nomination who stand no chance of winning to drop out and back one candidate who stands a chance of defeating Donald Trump as the party's nominee.

"If Mr. Trump is the Republican nominee for president in 2024, Republicans will lose up and down the ballot," he added, "Donald Trump is beatable, and it starts in Iowa and New Hampshire. Ignore the national polls that show he is leading — they are meaningless. It’s a reflection of the national conversation, name ID, and who is top of mind — not where the momentum is headed."
