Reagan and the Bush Family were globalists

WJ Clinton pushed through NAFTA but it was negotiated by Bush I.

The US became a net importer during the 1980s (Reagan era)

Macron is an absolute textbook globalist

which is the single best way to actually identify who these people bend the knee to.

right wing left wing bs is just a way to narrow the public discussion so i can choose between national socialism and my beloved international socialism

nothing new, Hegelian dialectic in the modern day. polished and shiny

but they both belong to the left... wtf

shhh

don't let them know..

Again, I don't even know what "left" and "right" even mean anymore

I just think that if Merkel is left than so would be Thatcher, Reagan, and Bush (I and II)

I think you guys are ignoring just how open borders Merkel and Macron is. If these leaders had any sort of 'My nation first' attitude to them then I'd agree with you when you say they had any right wing tenancies. However thats not that case, so its completely safe to think of them as 'left winged'

If im gonna be real its also ridiculously dangerous to be calling Merkel and Macron 'Center-Right' as it can put people in the mindframe of people who have more right leaning views to be smeared as 'Far-Right' or 'Alt-Right'.

left and right is just a "sports team" that you can root for and keep the D&C strategy they have been doing for thousands of years. still going strong

For Marcon and Merkel. I see them as far-right economic, and between center and fa left culturally

ehh... let's not pretend they are some free market saints. the fact we even are labeling them as anything but socialists -lite is terrifying

The only way they could be considered right wing is economically, everything else has raging leftism in their blood, and I'd agree that there isn't any 'Left/Right', just look at what happened in France. But we can't ignore there is 'Left/Right' thought no matter what

they pay crazy taxes

how crazy big EU empire programs and now army

let's not give them credit, lol. I am far from impressed.

No surprise this is what you get when Europe is disarmed...

most don't even have kids... they have no incentive to do what is 'good'

Honestly in Europe, if you're doing good you're probably breaking the law aswell, really no incentive to even live in Europe anymore save for a few countries

Reagan was rather generous to illegals

At least to Dreamers

more I read about Reagan, the more I dislike him now

He was pretty darned conservative for the time, especially on social issues. Look at him on the HIV/AIDS issue. 😦

still no where near as bad as bushes/clintons/obamas i guess. but wtf is that for a comparison.

He tried to stop IRS at least... got him shot too. so I guess he took some risks

My point is that until second term Obama and Trump there was little difference between Dem and Repub in the entire post-war period when it comes to immigration

JFK had balls 10x as big

yeah but look how easy obama had it

almost no bad coverage

96% negative propaganda articles for trump from "media"

people obsessed with blocking you just for status, not even merit

WE GOTTA STAY IN SYRIA GUYS!!! and fight ISIS!!! oh wai-

When there's so much merit

you have to be absolutely GONE to think we should stay in syria. The Clintons, Bushes clapping their hands in excitement of another era of "freedom making"
