OMG "Socialists"/"social democrats" joining "far right"/"populist nationalists" out of disgust of their own party... It's not something unusual, it's a trend in many european countries. Not massive but it's there. So Im' not really surprised to see it in the US. The main reason is both because they're tired of the overall bad faith and sectarian attitude within their former party, and because they can actually achieve meaningful results on the social front they were prevented from achieving within their former party due to retarded partisan logic and outdated/lame social concepts. They want get shit done and they are fed up with the loony left, and they see there are stuffs they can achieve on the right, there are ways Also, they are looking at uncontrolled immigration, and for those who are honest/realist, they start to see the social carnage taking place in the name of fake humanitarian ideals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dumping < among other things In europe, and it's pretty much the same in the US, the whole political spectrum shifted to the left over the past 30 years. So, what was historically considered far right, is now essentially center right/center left, with an anti immigration stance. That's it. That's what is the mainstream"far right" these days in most parts of the west. >&gt;“I had a Democrat come to me today and tell me he even questioned about whether he should stay a Democrat or he should reregister. He said this not the party that I know and he said these individuals in the direction that they’re going is totally wrong,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News host Sean Hannity Wednesday night. The irony in all this, is that, historically, it's the right who put in place most "social nets", with religious people. Yeah, the tradis and their book, it's them who delivered food to the needies originally, that's called christian charity. And yeah you had to hear some bible stuffs while eating, or not, depends nobody is going to force you to listen and yeah, you'll get the food before having to listen to the preacher, because "empty stomachs have no ears"... Then much later, circa 50's/70's, the left started to take over the social solidarity via unions / marxist ideals, .gov programs, so religious orgs became a tad redundant, but I digress. Also, the left is anything but open borders, historically (see soviet union, cuba, NK, etc...) It's very important to take care of the needies, that's something the right forgot. If you look at the mafias, muslims, they go right away in the dirtiest corners to provide for the needies... And recruit.... Or at the very least "don't forget who helped you when you're going to vote..." That, the right forgot it, focusing only on big money up there, wall street It's a startegic mistake, don't let the needies in the hands of the left, or islamists, or mafias... You'll regret it soon or later And the education, same deal... Too much focus on "hard science".... That's why you get a leftarded public school now, because the right didn't take care of it, left the terrain... Politics, arts, phylosopy.... Languages... Social sciences... Everything, pretty much, in the end Just taking care of math and commerce wasn't enough... Obviously So you got entire generations of kids landing in the hands of the shitleft... And then they sarted to think shitleft... And then they voted shitleft.... And now they are all over the administrations.... Clap clap clap http://www.wholeheartedleaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clapping-hands.jpg It's not so much that the right did anything wrong It's more that they did nothing They left the terrain And as a result the left occupied the terrain, having a highway for itself
