    Because the American left would be considered right wing in most of the world.

      The Democrats would be the conservative party in my country. The Republicans would be watched by law enforcement for fascistic tendencies, or already outright illegal.

          Germany. We learned our lessons about fascism. The US didn’t, and if they don’t get their acts together, they soon will. Then may God help us all.

            and yet we both have a significant problem with neo-nazis and right wing fascism.

            and its because, despite laws and common sense, media goes easy on them and gives them a soft hand.

            Didn’t the CDU dominate Germany for decades? Christian Democrats are much more socially conservative than the American Democratic party. Weird flex, not okay.

      It’s really as simple as this. The left in countries like the UK and Ireland would be radical to the US.
