>Trump more right-wing than Cruz
Does /pol/ agree with this? If not, why?
Trump is actually slightly to the left of Hillary (who holds the same political positions as Kasich)
Not at all, Kasich was probably the only republican nominee who was less right wing then trump, and even that I think i arguable. I really didn't pay attention to Kasich too much, I just know he wanted war with russia and to take away guns.

This picture is retarded in a million ways.
Trump didn't even denounce transgenderism, and he supported gay marriage, and he supports abortion in certain scenarios. All irrelevant issues that mean nothing, but would put him to the left of the meme scale.
>>77715804
>>77715719
Kasich is a neocon which technically makes him far left wing since neocons are former communists.
>>77715625

when will this meme end

Trump is probably the closest we've had in a long time to a candidate who is truly middle of the road moderate.
>>77715625
>Populism and Protestant biblical literalism being the "far right"
>populist
>right wing
Isn't being a populist the definition of a centrist?
>be moderate on all issues except migration
>>>>far-right
The right-left spectrum doesn't work.
Trump is a wall building communist.
>>77715625
I think the model of left and right is outdated and no longer applies.
Political philosophies extend beyond where your dot lies on a graph. We aren't robots.
>>77715853
>Democrats are outnumbered in the house and the senate, but somehow under our projections they'd rule a hypothetical parliament.
fuckin tards
>>77715625
Trump could realistically be either between Hillary and Kasich or immediately to the right of Kasich depending on which issues you give more weight to. In a non-polarized society, him and Bernie would start cozying up and reaching across the aisle on several issues.
>>77715625
>populist = far right
what
>>77716110
So every wall ever built is due to communism?
Do you know what communism is?
>>77715625
>tfw Centre-Left
Feels good man
>>77716110
Does that make monarchists commies? They are pretty fond of walls after all.
>>77716317
It makes just about everyone ever a communist
>>77716276
Might as well be nothing.

His trademark policies are sealing up the Mexican border with a fortified wall and banning over 1.5 billion people from entering the country based on their faith alone.
To be honest, those are not centrist and definitely not leftist policies.
>>77715911
>neocons
>far left wing
>communists
what the fuck am I reading
>>77715625
This is retarded.
>>77716519
>and banning over 1.5 billion people from entering the country based on their faith alone.
He has actually modified his position to banning people from nations that have terrorist hot-spots (ex: Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc)
>cruz literally attending meetings about wanting to kill gay people in the streets
>trump is more left than him despite saying trannies should use whatever bathroom they want and actively supports gay rights
the liberal brainwashing has reached an ultimate state
trumps is literally just a hippy liberal running as republican
he's the most anti-war pro working class option you retards have and libcucks still won't vote for him ahahhahahah
don't liberals typically complain about people voting against their own self-interests? how fucking ironic
>>77715625
Republicans had a significantly higher turnout in the primaries than the democrats. The Christian collation should be rolled into Donald and Bernie's points should stop by half, after all Hillary beat him by all over three million votes.
>>77716638
Neocons are former Trotskyites
they're about as left wing as you can get.
>>77716772
>anti-war

Cruz is far-right reactionary, Trump is centre-right

Rand Paul is out. Gary Johnson is now your guy.
>>77716885
Rand paul was one of the first to exit the race. Would make a good VP pick tho.
>>77716113

Absolutely retarded

Why not? Immigration control alone doesn't make you right wing. Plenty of hardcore socialists think opening the borders is a capitalist ploy for cheap labor.
>>77715625
>Populist
>Far Right
>>77716985
I don't agree with his consumption tax.
Not that it will ever pass congress any way.
But he's cool mostly.
>>77717011
Republicans got 4.5 million more votes than Democrats with the congressional election.
>>77717011
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't your MP's elected FPTP also?
>>77716638
Neocons are accelerationist Trotskyites that want to implement the worst aspects of capitalism and imperialism so that the backlash commie revolution will happen sooner.
I have to agree with everyone here that populist does not enter in a simple left/right spectrum.
A strong populist takes policies both from the left and from the right that matches its populist views. For instance, Trump is far-left on trade and far-right on immigration.
It is the first time that the world see a relevant populist/nationanist candidate since WWII
>>77716110
Commies built walls to keep people in. Trump is the exact opposite.

dipshit
the biggest shill neocon you can think of, Bill Kristol, is the son of Irving Kristol. Irving was part of the New York Intellectuals and a self avowed Trotsky Marxist.
>>77717353
I can see that.
Neocons are very pro corporate welfare.
They don't like the free market, they only like the very biggest corporations.
I hate how they give free market a bad name because very few of their policies are actually free market.

Not really.

You realize that Cesar Chavez would have supported Trump, right?

>>77716985
austin petersen should have got the libertarian nomination instead
>>77715625
No, Cruz is. Cruz scares me far more than Trump. Trump is a malleable populist, Cruz is a true believer and insane reactionary.
Clinton isn't a liberal, she's a neocon/neoliberal along with Kasich and Rubio. Sanders is a social-democrat, not a socialist, so they got that right.
>>77717011
>systemic gerrymandering
>Implying its done by one party
Why do liberals idolize FDR but demonize Trump?
One put innocent Americans into concentration camps the other only asked to block Muslims from entering (which Obama did too)

He also fails to mention that the Republican party got way more votes in the Congressional election.
>>77716985
but he's a lunatic who thinks that building a wall is inherently racist
>building a wall and not wanting to build nations or invade countries is "far right"
