This is why I call it the Homeless Industrial Complex
Why people love Housing First and hate all those that oppose it.

From the comments:

The three characteristics are consistent with a far-left agenda that blames all of society's woes on capitalism. Unfortunately, recently Trump, MAGA and leading Republicans have decided to accuse progressive Democrats of being "communists" or "socialists" despite having no facts to support the claims. While the charges are no more true than any of Trump's thousands of other lies, the redbaiting on the right makes it difficult for centrists, especially Democrats, to confront the actual extremists on the left for fear of being discredited.

This is a textbook “centrist democrat”. He acknowledges that his side of the aisle has been hijacked by far left extremists, but then he immediately pivots to calling Trump a liar and the real problem.

Why is Trump a liar? Because he called your side communist without any evidence. Except you just admitted your own side has been overrun with communists.

Why is Trump the problem? Because him “lying” about your side being overrun with communist is preventing you from counteracting the communists who have overrun your side.

This is how retarded moderate democrats have become. These people should be endlessly mocked until they retreat from public life entirely.

The evidence that they're communists and socialists is that they blame capitalism and want to destroy the system.

"Moderate" Democrats are either liars, or useless.

Anyone who even uses the word capitalism at this point is suspect. The only reason someone would even mention it is because they're a Communist.

It's the typical leftist notion that Democrats aren't left enough. His group may be overrun, but Democrats are still sellouts. Which is kinda true.

It's just like how any actual conservative person feels about NeoCons.

There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Manchin is the closest approximation of one, and he rubber stamps the agenda 95% of the time instead of 100%. The fact is they would be siding with the Republicans to rein in the lunatics in their camp if their "centrism" and "moderation" were anything more than an act to con gullible retards.

They are political teams, not ideological groups. That's why Manchin still is one. They don't care what he thinks, except on the margins, because as you point out they get 95% of his vote.

Its super indicative of their mindset too.

They are so deep in the rabbithole that they cannot even fathom having to be on the Right. The shame and persecution they think will follow is stronger than any principle they have. They believe the Right can offer no use or value to any problem and how dare they even pretend they can.

Their brain is so MSM rotted they believe every stereotype about the Right to be true, but have just the tiniest inkling of shame about their own side have "some issues" they want to address.

I suspect it's less the inability to see the Right as having some valid positions and more about how viciously their social circle will turn on them if they don't espouse all the approved opinions.

I've met a lot of milquetoast Left-leaners who are so lost in the "stereotypical right winger" that it precludes any other idea.

The notion that because The Right is racist/sexist/homo-haters and therefore evil, anything they say must be a front to do evil things and trick them rather than having any other principle.

Its one of the most effect narratives the Left has pushed. Because even the Right itself falls for it. Its why they spend all day trying to push blacks and womens and gays to the forefront to prove they totally aren't that way.

This perfectly describes all Democrats around me. They all claim to be moderate and reasonable but are either leftist chaos agents or retarded puppets. Heard one the other day basically blaming Trump for Biden and "these last 8 years of clown world".

Trump is an actual moderate centrist.

The only ones I really know are feminists who are put off by Trump's brash attitude and loose association with the truth.

What I don't know are these Log Cabin type Republican men who hate Trump. Every man I talk to seems to give him credit for some things while finding him wanting as a President. Most men just aren't repelled by Trump's bravado in the same way as most women. Then you see them in the news. They are gay I guess. They are mad at Trump. IDK.
