In the US the right has: Banned abortion (SCOTUS) Banned books. Made it okay to discriminate against gay people (303 creative) Banned drag shows. Is thinking about banning contraceptives.
There is no debate here. The right is banning things. The left has no equivalent bans on social issues.
3 of the last 4 GOP presidents proudly cut taxes for rich people. To distract you from that, the right is doing culture wars or wars on woke.
No doubt. I agree entirely. My point isn't to argue what should be. My point is only that stating what is an objective fact has gotten me called a fascist apologist by idiots who can't differentiate between between pointing out an aspect of reality vs actively advocating for it.
It's basically a "kill the messenger" situation.
