Very bogus chart even a high schooler would know that Fascism is extreme Right. In fact isn't there supposed to be a link included?

 

So fascism would be on the continuum with anarchy -- no government?

 

How do you make sense of totalitarian governments being on opposite ends?

Duh - look up political horseshoe - Far right / Fear left is meaningless once it's a dictatorship.

 

You can call it 'Far Right' if it makes YOU feel better tho x

 

Exactly. You get it.

Totalitarianism (autocracy) should be on the far right. Democracy should be on the far left.

So your continuum would only run from total government control to democracy, which would be only half way on my continuum. And no mention of anarchy and no government. So it wouldn't be a continuum.

 

I'd like to see an image of your idea and how you would account for all of the different forms of government.

No. I think Americans underestimate how much wealth is out there and tax can increase a bit without much affect for the very rich or acting as a disincentive to invest in the economy - but the voters can decide.  

So, have the, many, vote on what they can take from the few, yes?

Saying proposed tax increases is a slippery slope to further increases is just words - unless you can show a pattern of such broken promises on tax increases by the left - the only one I remember on tax was the famous broken promise by Bush senior.  

 Can you point to this Kamala policy about men in girls showers? The current policies are not soft on crime or promote mass immigration but up to you if you believe that.

 

Everything anyone says is just words, but I did not say "...proposed tax increases is a slippery slope to further increases...", what I said was: Everything is a slippery slope with the left.

 

Taxes, gun control, men in girls' showers, crime and immigration are a few examples. 

 

And I do not care much about what people say, I care about what they so. Immigration is a perfect example. Harris says she's tough on the border, but what she does is let ten to twenty million illegal aliens flood across the borer, and push a bill to legalize them and make them citizens.

Fool you three times, you're a Trump supporter.

Pure democracy: 75 men and 25 women voting if men should be allowed to have their way with the women. 

 

Leftist democracy: 75 men and 25 women voting if men should be allowed to have their way with the other men.

Polls are meaningless at this point.

 

Exit polls in 2016 had Hillary winning.

They weren't very wrong. She did win the popular vote quite soundly.

Exit polls are very different than pre vote polling.

And thus became....embittered? Given that the polls were off somewhere in the 3% range, that speaks to Trump actually winning rather easily this time.  On this date in 2020, Biden was up by more than 7%, in 2016 Hillary was up by 5.5%. Today's result is Trump up by 0.1%.

Nah. 

This election is like no other in history.

As far as what happened to Hillary, most people thought she was way ahead so many didn't even bother to vote.

If the polls were saying it was close, she would have won because more people would have thought their vote mattered.

I kind of like that the maga fascists seem to be irrationally over confident. That might help.

Unfortunately, the exit polls are state specific.

You're assuming that the polls are wrong in the same direction, which assumes that pollsters didn't adjust their likely voter model after 2020.
