@jackwilliambell @gimulnautti @pluralistic When I lived in Europe (where there are actual left-wing parties), I found it comical that Americans thought the Democrats were “left-wing”.

Now I live in the US, it doesn't seem comical at all.

But Trump & friends now claim the Democrats are "far-left radicals”: absurd, but many Americans seem to accept the new lie as uncritically as they accepted the previous one.

Meanwhile, the American right has gone far-right, but still pretend to be moderates.
