MAGA has consistently branded the left as "radical," to the point that they never plainly say "left" anymore. Always radical. You know, the party whose platform aligns with compassion and humanity more often than not. Radical. They've gaslit their constituents into believing that anything from the opposing party is unreasonable.
The radical left wants people to have access to healthcare. The radical left wants people to not be discriminated against for race, gender, sexual preference, etc. The radical left wants people to be treated like people and not sideshow freaks. The radical left wants an educated populace. The radical left wants to prevent people who are obviously dangerous from owning firearms. The radical left doesn't want to put razor wire in the rivers on the border. The radical left doesn't want me to store state nuclear secrets in the bathroom at my Florida clubhouse where I frequently entertain high-profile guests from adversarial nations. The radical left wants to lock up those who participated in a violent breach of our capitol and threatened the lives of Congress and our vice president and killed a police officer. The radical left wants breathable air, drinkable water, and clean energy. The radical left wants unions to negotiate fair working conditions and compensation. The radical left wants consumer protections.
These are all radical, dangerous ideas. In contrast:
The radical right wants women to be baby factories. The radical right wants dangerous people to own firearms. The radical right wants to limit access to education. The radical right wants to silence the free press. The radical right wants the police to kill with impunity. The radical right wants corporations to be free to poison our skies and waterways. The radical right wants to destroy our foothold in the growing clean energy sector. The radical right wants mega corporations to be free to fuck consumers sideways. The radical right wants to dissolve unions (except the police unions, those can stay).
See the difference?
bernie had it soooo right. watch any of his "radical" speaches and you see how deftly he disarms that bullshit.
