This graphic shows left & right, liberal vs conservative, blue vs red, from a US perspective.
Exactly. There is a lot wrong in the graphic but I find that illustrative. Indeed, I think a great deal can be learned from this graphic to not only advance MAGA / maybe red pill a few souls who can still be reached.
Agreed. This graphic is crap and is created for an agenda.
The image appeared in my book Information Is Beautiful in Feb 2009 and was immediately set upon by right-wing bloggers. They drubbed it for its left-wing bias. Fair play, I thought. They made some good points. As a left-leaning journalistic type, I had clearly - and unconsciously - biased the diagram to make the Left seem better than than the Right. So I got into lengthy (and sometimes heated) discussion with my right wing critics. Taking in their feedback - and no small-amount of fireballs in the comments - I updated the image, refining the wording and changing a few other subtle elements for a hopefully more balanced end result.
I can't find that image but I'd love see it.
Too simplistic by far. Putting science on the left is total BS. I am and I know tons of scientists and engineers on the right. Meanwhile leftists are into glowbull warming, 57 genders, and other mythical pseudo-science nonsense. They regularly put utopian ideals over science, common sense and hard observable facts.
Gives way to much credence to what the lefties claim to believe, when in fact those things are more often a smokescreen for some very ugly motivations.
><
Right on!
The Left can never be honest with their intentions because they would be rejected.
This graphic is crap and is created for an agenda.
><
It is deceptive.
I see some things there that need to be tweaked.
For starters, a number of areas where the labels should be negative on the left, are almost comically labeled instead.
As for fair vs free trade, yes, Conservatives do want Free Trade. Sadly when other nations are eating your lunch, you need to call them back into line and demand fair trade.
We can’t let other nations charge us X+ tariffs and we just set here and charge X tariffs.
I’ve copied this to my own files, and I may relabel the thing in a few days.
Interesting food for thought.
BTW: I also noticed he said judges were a perview of the Right. B. S. Who does he think Sotamayor, Kagan, and Darth Bader are, interns?
Yet pacifist nurturing leftists want to brutally murder everyone who doesnt agree with them.
Yes we’re supposed to be the racist fascists.
Who is it that can’t talk about a subject without mentioning skin color, and who is it that is carrying 4 foot clubs to protests?
The communists can't escape their true color

Thanks for posting this thread and the link to more graphics. Will save for later review.
What a load of crap
The left supports workers????? The right supports employers and wat? ??
Wrong, the new battle is globalists vs nationalists. Your graphic says free trade vs fair trade. Neither wing of the Uniparty is pro American industry and protectionist in any way.
The bias is pretty obvious. The left can think what they will and damn the rest of us if we fail to follow their lead. Nope, I’m not buying it!
That was kind of my take on it...as I was telling DoodleBob, I saw the flaws immediately, but I got value out of gleaning out of it another angle on how the Left sees us on the Right...entirely predictable, but...like you said, fun to look at!
bfl
You know what else I got from that? The Left SEES us accurately in some ways, and they see themselves accurately in some ways, and the fact that a Lefty could create this and still BE A LEFTIST tells you something about Leftism.
They often DO see the differences that we value on our side and denigrate on theirs, but...fail to see how that paints them as anti-American, anti-Constitutional lepers!
