Those who support the Republican brand seem to use the phrase "far left" and "left wingers" to describe everyone who disagrees with the dogma they hold true. Since it makes no sense to use these phrases to describe ten of millions of Americans, maybe one of them who uses these phrases would describe the beliefs those who disagree with them hold.
That the phrases are used interchangeably with "Marixts, "Communists", "Socialists" and other such words as pejoratives, and it is likely these economic theories are not understood and are not differentiated from political theories of governance by their users, I expect any of them who attempt to answer this question to default to personal attacks and or idiot-grams. But we will see, maybe one of them will actually think and respond substantively.
The problem with the rightwing is that they lack very basic critical thinking skills. Their reasoning on any political issue is very black and white. There is very little nuance to their beliefs. That's why they think everyone else is far left. It's simpler to think that way. It makes it easy to demonize and dismiss conflicting information. They feel more secure in their beliefs that way.
I certainly know there is a huge difference between Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
You accusing anyone of a lack of Critical thinking skills is FUCKING HILARIOUS.
