No wonder their media finds it so easy to manipulate muddled minds.

Tell me about it. I have to live here. Over in the thread about differences between right and left, some of the guys described the left using memes based in right of center talking points against the left as if those talking points described the left. When I laughed at that, one of them doubled down on their confusion by calling me a centrist. I keep running into these very, very confused people who confuse my obviously very, very far left political views with (inexplicably) conservative Republican views. Our 'left' has become inundated with people who are provisionally socially liberal, but fervently support Reagan style economic policies that they deny are Reaganomics.

Dude! Don’t get me started on the USian’s understanding of left vs. right!
I have whole PowerPoint presentations on that.
It’s part of my stand-up routine.
