  3. The nationalism and racism are extreme right, and right wing doesn't imply less government (no right-wing party has ever reduced the size of government, they just talk about it to get votes).

  4. Right wing includes conservatives, who are historically against immigration. Donald Trump rode a wave of racism to the presidency, that wouldn't have happened if racism didn't have huge appeal among conservative voters. In fact class-based systems are the core of the conservative universe. The Republicans might have formed to end slavery, but these days they use racism to get votes. If the Republicans don't want racism associated with the right wing, they can fix it easily: 1) Stop calling themselves right wing 2) Stop being racists, and stop using racism to try to get votes Trying to convince people that racism and the right wing aren't related, after decades of one never showing up without the other, isn't going to work.

  5. Everybody's racist to some extent, the Republicans unfortunately use theirs to shape public policy and try to get votes. I'd believe that bullshit about Trump, but he tried to have five youths executed for a crime they didn't commit because they're black and latino. How much more racist can you get? If a class based system isn't your ideology, you can quit promoting it. Defunding the public school system in order to focus on charter schools, gutting social programs to give tax breaks to the ultra-rich, those things perpetuate a class-based system. Put your money where your mouth is and demand Republicans stop supporting a class-based reality.

  6. They're as far right as you can get. It's our example of what happens when you swing too far right. Both the Democrats and the Republicans want to be that far right.

  7. I don't see right wing parties reducing the size of government, and what socialist policies did the Nazis enact?

  8. Nationalism is right wing.

  9. The eugenics was a result of racism, which is, again, a right wing vote-getter.

  10. Using the army to invade other countries and subjugate them isn't anarchy. Rounding up your population in prison camps isn't anarchy. You might not want to be associated with Nazis, but if you're right wing that's too bad, because the Nazis were (and are) right wing.

  11. Not catching the Trump references? That's okay, somebody will make a simpler version.

  12. I'll keep an eye out for these "straight, white" Christians. They all seem incredibly gay.
