I did catch one of those YouTube shorts where a person being hammered by the host about being a Trump supporter within the R party says, "I was a leftist. and Trumps has now put up tariff barriers, stopped migrants from taking the jobs of working class Americans and withdrawing from all wars... I e , the left agenda.". She's probably right. (and to her credit she was laughing when saying all this. )
well, the trade barriers or closed system has been traditionally associated in popular perception with "leftist" policies. wars, de facto they're part of any aggressive philosophy and laid out in that anthem! I guess the lady was laughing about the "closed system" thing on trade, not so much immigration or wars. Meanwhile, the "rightist" and "leftist" Govts veer towards protecting domestic interests, as they see it, in pretty much the same way. Its simpler to develop a view on the matter at hand than worry too much about all that.
I needed to read this today. Blood, my blood is on the street, because of actions of 1 single megalomaniac.
You can't change him, but you can try to make lemonade.

I don't know what is Leftist about trade barriers and blocking immigration. Wasn't 'The International' an unofficial anthem?

I think the critical difference is between autocratic and liberal...
