Pew Research is retarded apparently.

Found my high school journal, thought it would be embarrassing how clueless I was back then...

Nope, everything was 100% spot on. Haven't moved a fucking inch from free speech, self-determination, equal rights / unequal outcomes, hard work, merit and yet now I'm considered far right instead of center left.

This analysis focuses on the first dimension, which is essentially the economic and governmental aspects of the familiar left-right spectrum and ranges from 1 (most conservative) to -1 (most liberal).

So not only is this assessment highly subjective, it doesn't even take into account social aspects or other aspects of the left-right spectrum. And yet Pew uses it to come to this conclusion.

More from the "how we did this?" section. ("This", being "fabricated the result we wanted with bigger numbers for the republicans")

Accordingly, like most political science work that employs DW-NOMINATE scores, this analysis focuses on the primary liberal/conservative scale. That scale runs from -1 (most liberal) to 1 (most conservative). Each lawmaker is assigned a value between those endpoints based on their voting record; the scores are designed to be comparable between Congresses and across time.

Literally no fixed or objective measure of values. Just everything measured relative to whoever is arbitrarily selected as the "most" lib/con for that given year and also blindly assuming they are equidistant from the center. You could just as well look at that data and say the democrats extremes are not lessening or even growing more extreme, whilst republican extremes are becoming more and more moderate with time.

Fuck you asshole, it is, or it isn't. Nobody needs your liberal rhetoric. Speaking with big words to try prove how intelligent you are, proves how dumb you are.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Nobody on the left has come out against the "sexy camp" for little kids. None of them have any respect for the concept of private property. They think black should be able to kill whites without consequences as long as the black is willing to lie and say the white said "nigger". None of them have said anything positive about America in forever.

There is no further left they can move.

But there sure as hell is further right the sane people can move.

Today ConInc is unconditionally celebrating Dave Rubin adopting surrogate children with his "husband". Would 2008 Barack Obama have done the same?

What decades of a right comprised of "I didn't leave the left: the left left me" leftists have brought us.

Anyone who is unwilling to reassess their political beliefs in the face of the left's madness is at best a fool and at worst a tool of the left.

If your measure insists that Democrats are as liberal as in 1972, then there is something wrong with your measure.

Republicans haven't moved to the Right one bit. They've actually moved to the left, and kowtowed to pedophiles and those who would undermine our country. The vast majority of the party, at least those who hold office, could be classified as "RINO".

What? Feckless RINOs have been shuffling left since the 80s. Anything conservative or "right" coming out of their mouths is just useless virtue signalling to get you to vote for them.

Prime example is WEFs young global leader Dan Crenshaw.

40 years ago: Democrats: "I'm against gay marriage." Republicans: "I too am against gay marriage."

Now: Democrats: "Transwomen are women." Republicans: "Fucking whatever but could you at least just stop grooming kids for one second!? No? Understandable, have a nice day."

Also, according to Pew Research, anyone who believes in facts and truth and understands the definition of words isn't just what you feel like today is now a neo-nazi.

PEW is left wing disinformation. Conservatives are conservatives. We always stay in the middle. Do NOT!! listen to communist bullshit.

I guess that's why conservatives lose, because they "stay in the center" and hold a line that is progressively moved to the left decade after decade. There's no right wing in America pushing equally in the other direction, so the middle continues to move leftward steadily. A conservative today would be considered a liberal in 1950, and today's liberal in 1950 would be sent to a mental asylum for being fucking insane.

Separate comment* Again bullshit.... Over the past 10 years I've been solely focused on raising my kid and giving him a good life, that view has not changed whatsoever. That's typically how conservatives hold their values.... usually with their children and legacy.

I don't give a s*** what the f*** that article says the left has gone so far into.... agreeing with war (pretty sure they were the ones against that growing up... I dunno... I mean am I wrong about that?... (... sheeeit.. come on... I know I'm not 😅))..., agreeing with riots, agreeing with dismantling affirmative action which they put in place in the 1st place, not saying I agree with it but for something you put in place you would think you would f****** hold on to until you're dying breath.

These fucking people are out of touch, pathetic, desperate losers (hypocrites).... hold on to that, and tell them in your tweets, memes, and outright calling them on there shit...

K1nglurk signing out. 😅
