Nobody likes liberals anymore

Friday, January 17, 2025

Left-wing parties are more unpopular now than at any time since the end of the Cold War, The Telegraph has assessed. The analysis comes after a year of election triumphs for conservatives around the world, crowned by Donald Trump's election as US president. Right-wing groups emerged as the worldwide winners after more than 1.5 billion people voted in more than 70 countries in 2024, the most on record in a single year. Leftist parties suffered a record low average vote share of just 45.4 per cent in each democracy's latest election, according to Telegraph analysis of elections in 73 democracies.

What a shocker: a rightwing paper attacks the left. Will wonders never cease?

The article gives facts. Why cant you talk about that?

Oh yea, you don't have a point. So you just attack. Face the fact Doc, liberals are out of favor around the world.

I'm not sure what others are experiencing, but this article is behind a paywall for me.

Given that, how about enumerating what facts are in the article.

We already know the majority of the folks in America are stupid sheep. This is not news.

There's nothing wrong with "right-wing parties". BOAZ.

There's everything wrong with fascist parties, such as MAGA.

In 1938 many countries were fascist.

How'd that work out?

Isn't that interesting that in 2002 George W. used wars to "spread democracy".

MAGA cheered him on.

I wonder what Donald will use his wars to spread?

There will still be cheering.

Fake news. Trump was one of the only Presidents who didn't have any wars.

Havent you liberals learned about calling us "facists"? You have said it so much, no one believes you anymore.

And rightfully so.

Yet he's been nothing but imperialist rhetoric since the election. This is likely another area y'all will be blatantly lied to about and you'll switch your opinion to match the con like a dutiful little stooge.

RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate The Telegraph Right Biased based on story selection that strongly favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing of information and some failed fact checks.

I'm sorry...what?

First, there was no MAGA back then. And MAGA and the GWB team are NOT friends.

GWB has more in common with Biden then with Trump.

You lie. Trump started a war in Syria. It was short lived but he did start one.
