    It’d be interesting to know what he thinks "left wing" means. I wonder if democrats know that they are center-right and they lie or if they’re truly oblivious.

      Americans are so politically illiterate that Democrats (both the voters and politicians) think they're left wing.

      I think we could call them far right at this point for enabling a genocidal war but I also hate the "only extremist make genocides" horse shoe theory bullshit

        Most genocides in history were caused by political factions which by no means viewed themselves or even were viewed as "extremist". Like the governments of British Empire murdered some hundreds of millions of people while preaching being moderate all the time.

      He doesn't think about it. His staffers and PR people just threw this tidbit out to white house journalists and they just said "yeah ok sounds good."
