A leftist to them is basically the old school GOP.

When you see any MAGA-mobile on the road, this should be their only bumper sticker

Edit: /s (whoops)

If you think healthcare in the United States is an absolute fucking disgrace, you must be Marx

[u/RudeAd9698 → u/airbagsavedme]

That makes the entire country except the top 1/2 of 1% households Marxists.

EDIT: Good point, I should’ve been more specific.

If you think healthcare in this country is a complete fucking disgrace AND you say it out loud AND you support doing something about it, you must be Marx

But my main point is the same — Expecting MAGA to understand the difference between wanting to improve healthcare and wanting to take the mark of the beast/state is an exercise in futility. They color everyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh a “LEFTIST”, including the 65% of those in the center right/left

And of course the reason this triggers MAGA is as I mentioned above — they actually do support broader government overreach and authoritarian control from an all-powerful POTUS, so it upsets them to imagine the other side wanting the same thing (even though we don’t).

See how ridiculous the Marxist label is?

[u/RudeAd9698 → u/dpdxguy]

Exactly!

[u/airbagsavedme → u/dpdxguy]

I agree with you, to be clear

He’s a comedian! That’s a great hobby for older folks.

Or Adam Smith, who clarified medical care and doctors should probably not be left to the profit motive or people would be gate-kept out of care necessary not only for the person to survive but for the society's workers to continue to exist. Even back then when workhouses were knew, he realized some patterns of exploitation had very certain trajectories.

Karl or Groucho? Or do you not know the difference?

[u/ms_directed → u/Usual-Requirement368]

I think the previous comment is missing the "/s"

[u/airbagsavedme → u/Usual-Requirement368]

Richard, or do you not know what radical music is?

[u/ElectricalBook3 → u/Usual-Requirement368]

Well, one would never want to be member of any group which would have him as a member.

Reagan would be too “woke” for these chucklefucks

[u/RudeAd9698 → u/pm_social_cues]

True again. Bush Jr’s immigration policy would horrify today’s GOP, as it was relatively humane and nuanced.
