This website has some very cool visual displays of information, which (I think) help tell the respective stories much better than typical, boring graphics. I thought this graphic, while produced by a self-identified left-leaning journalistic type, was interesting and somewhat balanced. I was particularly drawn to this lefty's contrasts...I think, unintentionally, he shows the danger of the left (e.g., INTERFERE WITH SOCIETY & SOCIAL LIVES, TAX AND SPEND, UTOPIANISM).

Gives way to much credence to what the lefties claim to believe, when in fact those things are more often a smokescreen for some very ugly motivations.

I whole-heartedly disagree with much of this.

My parents are very loving, and encouraged me as the graphic shows the left.

I’m very, very far right.

Also, to see that the Left has any reverence for God... whatsoever.. is laughable. And that the Right are against gay rights is also laughable.

It’s simple. The left is evil. The right is good.

The left do more than entertain debate on the topic, they actually ENDORSE the murder of babies in-utero.

At that point, lets abandon any comparison. Abandon any reason or justification. They need to be squelched fully and permanently.

Did the graph intentionally leave out black and brown democrats?

...produced by a self-identified left-leaning journalistic type...

Whoever put this graphic together is more than just "left leaning" - he/she is very, very much in the left camp.

They claim science for the left - the left of 87 genders and the non-human fetus that is carried inside the human body.

Spot on so far as Commie red is concerned, but the colors need to be flip flopped to correspond to recent “Red America” (GOP) v. “Blue America” parlance.

I have always been fascinated by and attracted to the concept of conveying data in a graphical fashion to make it easier to understand. One of my all time favorites is this one:

Draw a straight line across a piece of paper. On the left put communism, Nazism, Monarchies, Dictators, etc. Or to put it simply, Oligarchies.

On the far middle left, put democracies. All true democracies fail, often violently.

In the middle right, put Constitutional Republic.

On the far right, put anarchy.

Here’s the thing; you can quickly go down a rabbit hole with “left vs. right”. Instead it is much better to compare Marxism vs Liberty.

Too simplistic by far. Putting science on the left is total BS. I am and I know tons of scientists and engineers on the right. Meanwhile leftists are into glowbull warming, 57 genders, and other mythical pseudo-science nonsense. They regularly put utopian ideals over science, common sense and hard observable facts.

I see some things there that need to be tweaked.

For starters, a number of areas where the labels should be negative on the left, are almost comically labeled instead.

As for fair vs free trade, yes, Conservatives do want Free Trade. Sadly when other nations are eating your lunch, you need to call them back into line and demand fair trade.

We can’t let other nations charge us X+ tariffs and we just set here and charge X tariffs.

I’ve copied this to my own files, and I may relabel the thing in a few days.

Interesting food for thought.

BTW: I also noticed he said judges were a perview of the Right. B. S. Who does he think Sotamayor, Kagan, and Darth Bader are, interns?

Wrong, the new battle is globalists vs nationalists. Your graphic says free trade vs fair trade. Neither wing of the Uniparty is pro American industry and protectionist in any way.

I don’t believe this chart. Nice graphic, but incorrect.

Just take the “aggression” and “militant”. Then think about who was president in this country at the start of any major war. Yes I know that declaration of war comes from congress, but I think the evidence is enough to prove that the graph is incorrect in this regard.
