The dude is a 90's Democrat. I'd argue he's an early 2000's Democrat, even. Just because liberals keep moving further left on *everything* doesn't mean people that were on the left before, or middle, are suddenly right ring, let alone far right. There are liberals now that think Bill Maher has become "far right", that Obama wasn't a liberal, it's baffling. I say this as a right wing person myself. I like Elon's free speech views, but he is too liberal for my tastes (and the many other tens of millions of conservative Americans' tastes) in other areas. Calling him far right is just not true. Just because someone moves away from me doesn't mean I've moved away from them. |
Major issue is that people use these terms differently.
A lot of Americans think left wing = big government, right wing = small government.
Political science defines these terms as left = opposed to hierarchy, right = advocates for hierarchy.
Democratic politicians range from center left to center right, but mostly center right.
I'm not sure how you think Elon is a "90's democrat"
