Does the left win with a message of hope and does the right win with a message of fear?

I mean this as a general rule, of course. I think it is true.

The left always use the message of fear.

"Vote for us or you'll get those evil far right Nazis. They've launched a war on women, gays, blacks, Jews, muslims, eskimos, animals, trees, oxygen."

LOL. Its a bit of a straw man argument. Nobody has actually called Trump and Nazi. He is against oxygen though, as I saw in a FB news story. ;-)

@Burnley123:

Yes, the left is full of strawman arguments.

"Nobody has actually called Trump a nazi."

I take it you live in a literal bubble, then.

@Booyeah: A literal bubble or a liberal bubble?

Booyeah · 41-45, M

@Burnley123: Perhaps both.

@Booyeah: I'm actually a socialist BTW so please don't call me a liberal. :-)

@Burnley123: The modern liberal advocates for socialism, so I don't see the problem.

Pfffff. Not even sure where to start with that.

Please look up the definitions of 'liberal' and 'socialist'.

[quote]Yes, the left is full of strawman arguments.[/quote]

Also look up the word 'irony'.

@Burnley123: Look up the phrase "red herring".
