Not quite. "Radical" and "socialist" are two bad words to MAGA. Everything, and I mean literally everything that does not directly benefit Trump gets ALL the bad words. There are only two categories: 1) "pro-Trump" (gets ALL the good words, regardless of meaning) and 2) "not pro-Trump" which gets all the bad words from satanist, lunatic, extremist, fascist and any other bad words a MAGA might know, to radical and socialist.

So the proper delineation in this system would be one point of "Trump" and everything else being radical socialist (plus all other bad words).

You need a "Centrist" dot in the center of the blue square.

They're calling half the blue field "radical socialist" as well.

Honestly, 'radical socialist' should be further up and right. It's anyone who's not them.

American politics is basically another political compass that exists solely in the auth-right quadrant.

This is so true. Yeah radical left people will call me an extreme conservative but that are folks who do not hold office or anything for democrats and are way over. With the republicans the far right is the typical office holder.

im saying the extreme left has as skewed viewpoint of left and right but that the typical democrat politician is center and even right of center. Further the typical republican politician is extreme right. So the typical republican politician has this skewed view but not so with the typical democrat. So we basically have an extreme right party and a center party but lack an extreme left party and both a moderate left and right party.
