Robert PickeringIf the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.
Frans Super 🇺🇦🇵🇸🍋 FKNZS🔻@robertpi Moved? It was stretched. The left border is pushed further to the left but with little success. The right border almost leaves the Solar System.
U.Lancier@apenkop @robertpi I can't see a stretch on the left if you omit the claims of the far right propaganda. Someone like NY's Mamdani is considered a moderate left in most of Europe's democracies.
It is not too far in the past that the people of the US would consider all democratic (the system, not the party) positions as center and deem all positions, that were in favor of denying some people the right to vote, or even human rights as extremist and decidedly un-American.
About far right: To even ask whether US-born are citizens (and even more absurd: native Americans!) was off any chart of being a valid question to US justice before the Trump-era.
@Ulan_KA You're not far off, but the question took the Pope into consideration, so we sought an answer I guessed, of a global nature. In that respect, there is little wiggleroom for the left, apparently too woke to be in the Overton window, and an enormous universe available for all the far right thoughts, memes, lies, rationales, whitewashing etc.
