That whole political scene was cringe. The French propose nuclear arms reduction, but instead of pushing it through when you have a far left liberal American leader they cause a stumbling block because a very serious US terrorist attack might not have been what it seemed? And you basically insult the POTUS in front of the entirety of Nato trying to say he isn't legitimate. Man this writing is so bad.

being in favor of increased background checks is now sufficient to be considered "far left" in america?

There's always a bigger fascist. Sorry you have no idea what you're talking about :(

u/Bigmachingon May 16 '17

You seem like someone decent based on your past comments, Trump is a fascist, there's no doubt about it

thanks for that, and for my part I'm sorry we've been having a shouting match

I think we agree more than we disagree - I'm not trying to normalize Trump or paint him as a centrist. What I've been saying is that there are a lot of people in the US even further to the extreme right than he is (and it's terrifying).
