    He nixed a deep right oligarch because they were killing people.

    I don’t know what label you really want to assign to that, But it current it doesn’t seem very Right Wing thing to do

        Yeah you’re kind of need to clarify these days whether they’re the Right looking for upper middle class tax breaks, or the right that’s looking to use the police to hunt non white people to extinction, not that there’s not a significant overlap of those two circles but…

          That is why we need to start using the more specific libertarian right and authoritarian right of the axis spectrum and stop using the regular left-right spectrum

            Libertarian right covers some of the bases, but has their own interesting agenda quirks, like they don’t want tax just cuts, they want to defund the government all together. 0 guardrails. Then rely on ??? To decide who gets paid for what.

            It ends up letting the authoritarian right shortcut to racism, there’s 0 support for healthcare and relies far too much on individual good will that does not exist.

          The left gives upper middle class tax breaks. Kamala’s plan would have cut taxes for anyone making under $914,900/yr.
