Working, boss.
Don't have time to succinctly define terms of common usage for a lawyer whose spoken American English long enough to figure out what does or does not generally fall within the purview of a standard designation.

I'm not deflecting anything. Jesus, you clowns have a magical bag of holding full of buzzwords you pull out every time you want to talk but have nothing to say.
Let's go with the implosion of the democratic party. Let's make the unfounded assumption that this isn't another repetition of the endless cycle of power that sees D's/R's waxing or waning in power over time. The democrats are done, and now the leftists are in the streets, in the corporate boardrooms, in the media, and fully advancing their aims and agenda without control of a single branch of government. Yet even without government control they manage to remove statues, silence the opposition, block immigration orders of the president, fire people for wrong-think, and spam the populace with their worldview via MSM and social media.
Meanwhile, "the right" has all three branches of government, and inexplicably can't pass even the most basic bits of their supposed agenda.
How is the implosion of the democratic party helping the right?
Here comes what I think is an entirely reasonable request >>>
What does "the right" mean in the context of your last post?
(I say that nowadays, "the right" is just a construct of the state (just like "the left")).
Fair enough, but right now, everything seems to be in the center left to the left in that spectrum, not seeing a whole lotta folks down there demanding classical liberalism.

The entire idea of a left-right spectrum is bullshit. It's hard to let it go because we were all indoctrinated into it. But its' not reality. If it were, it would be like saying Fife is maybe two notches away from Nukedog, when they hold two totally different ideologies. It would be like saying the difference between a cuck like Mitt Romney and Donald Trump is merely a matter of degree, which is so obviously false if you just analyze it a little. This entire paradigm breeds only facile political discourse. I am more interested in how things really are.
In reality there exist LOTS of different political philosophies and positions to take, and people are all over the place.

Generally - though - you have people who hate Anglo Saxon/Western culture and you have those who like it.
At the end of the day, whenever you have populism running amok, that's all going to slide to the left by default, populists ruling as a mob, dueling communes is left on left violence, and if it expands into every venue, there's no room remaining for anybody on the right to even get a word in edgewise.

That's what I have been trying to explain. Most of what we are calling the "left" right now is a form of social degeneration manifested as a collective political will. It's not really a genuine political ideology in that all their arguments are better described as rationalizations to justify their preexisting desire to basically burn civilization to the ground.
This goes on periodically. The Romans had to deal with people like this too.
Everything that is not degeneracy is getting lumped in as "right wing" these days, though I am not sure how libertarians get a free pass when they are rightfully better categorized with the degenerates.
