I love that the extreme right and the extreme left have converged on the exact same arguments. Totally doesn't raise any concerns. I wish I had some of my old Reddit screenshots of /r/conservative users.
How are they the same exact argument? The extreme right hates anyone left of them for reasons that change on the daily. The left hates neo-liberals for their pro capitalist stance, how they are for profit minded in how they handle life, and seem to change their social policies in matters of convenience.
A little googling found me a reference to a YouTube comment, but it's a good example of the rhetoric I'm referring to, and which makes just as much sense in this meme as it did when being shouted by the people who call statues of Confederate generals "heritage"
Oh yeah, when the parties had different ideology centuries ago and what not. I find the right though uses that to try and be a gotcha in conversation, where as most others use it to reference parties can and do change.
Edit: My favorite inane statements from the far right is they're called the right because they're right, hurr durr. I wouldn't put much emphasis or consideration on their arguments, it changes to fit their narrative at the time.
