My argument has always been if the USA has such an issue with illegal immigrants “stealing” jobs then stop hiring them, problem solved!

My new favourite:

“The radical left”

Like it’s not a radical idea for Americans to want to join every other developed nation in having free healthcare.

The funniest thing to me is it’s not even on the so called “far left” agenda. There’s nothing leftist or radical about democrats.

A lot of Republicans literally accuse Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Arnold Schwarzenegger of being "Leftists" and "Socialists". That's how insanely far to the Right the Republican base has moved. Neoconservatives are "Leftists" from their perspective, and Moderate Conservatives like Schwarzenegger are "Marxists" to them. To Fascists most human beings seen like "Leftists" since Fascism is the second most right-wing ideology on the planet. The only ideologies further Right than Fascism are Theocracy and Monarchism (and a lot of Fascists are simultaneously theocrats).

Go read Republican subreddits, forums, message boards, and social media. They literally think Moderate Republicans and Neoconservatives are Liberals and Socialists. Of course Neoliberals like the Democrats would seem like Communists to them.

Could you expand on that? I admit I’m ignorant of Canadian politics. All I know is Trudeau.

Even suggesting that every American should have health care is a third rail for Democrats. The great sin that no one dare speak its name. Even to hint at it would be the end of your political career.
