Well, as we have discussed before on this board, there is no "left-wing" and "right-wing." There is only "the individual rights of citizens are sacrosanct and eclipse the power of the state" (i.e., Classical Liberals) or "the state's rule is supreme" (i.e., Communists, Marxists, Fascists, Socialists, a very large portion of the Democrat Party, etc.).

The New Republic is still sad that they aren't censoring and shadow-banning conservatives on X anymore:
The New Republic (@newrepublic) ~ Elon Musk is turning X into a safe space for far-right propaganda.

Well, of course The New Republic would spew this nonsense - it is owned and staffed by Marxist woketards.
Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) ~ Anything that isn't a non-stop drum circle calling for the elimination of all Jews is "far-right propaganda" to these people.
And that's just the point. Remember when mediocre white man Elon Musk created a stir by posting an image of a Democrat and a Republican on a horizontal line? And then the little Democrat stick figure moved so far left that the Republican was just right of center. Musk, who voted for Joe Biden, has been red-pilled. Musk visited the border before the president did to see for himself, and you probably saw the video of a mob of illegal immigrants overpowering the Texas National Guard, today. Again, cite any evidence that the border invasion isn't intentional and that Biden has done one thing to stop it.
Musk posted a list of his policies Thursday and asked if they're right-wing.
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ This is a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.
My positions are centrist:
- Secure borders
- Safe & clean cities
- Don’t bankrupt America with spending
- Racism against any race is wrong
- No sterilization below age of consent
Is this right-wing?
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ And, although it shouldn’t need to said, I believe in the Constitution and freedom of speech.
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ Elon Musk may think his positions are centrist, but they’re definitely to the right of center as far as people to the left are concerned. So while Elon’s positions haven’t really changed dramatically over the years the extremes have. And the leftist extreme has gone nuclear.
Jim Hanson (@JimHansonDC) ~ The Woke Mind Virus is destroying this country. That's a feature for the Left. Not a bug.

Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) ~ All eminently common sense. And, just a few years ago, used to be a bipartisan consensus.
Hodgetwins (@hodgetwins) ~ None of these should even be considered political positions, they are rational positions.
Carpe Donktum (@CarpeDonktum) ~ Anti-civilization is a side effect of the oldest battle in history. The fight between absolute truth and relativism. Civilized society is based upon a shared set of core values and the agreement that reality is absolute, not subjective. Relative truth erodes the societal fabric.
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ You sound like Biden from 2007.
Heh heh heh heh heh.
Steven Steele (@MrStevenSteele) ~ This is spot on. I considered myself a lifelong Democrat until around 2017. I became completely ostracized for believing in the aforementioned. The lack of self-awareness about their flawed trajectory mixed w/ an off-the-charts hubris completely pushed me away from the left.
Oh, here's the meme that made e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ woketards so angry:
Military Arms (@MAC_Arms) ~ {Replying to @elonmusk} 15 years ago, no. Even Obama wanted to secure the border and deported plenty of illegals. There was a time when both parties talked about balanced budgets, now just one does. Racism is the domain of the left. You said it best yourself with this meme:
Biden — the 2024 version — would consider that ultra-MAGA. Even "Make America Great Again" is offensive to the Left because "Donald Trump cribbed it from the Nazis and America was never great anyway."
