Ah yeah huh. Goofy thing: in my district there are two candidates running against each other whose campaigns paint each other as "dangerously liberal" and "far left" and "socialist" but they're both Trumper Republicans.While this is certainly true, I think it’s also just the fact that he’s a democrat and so republicans and a fair bit of the media paint him as such. Republicans will paint literally any democrat as a “far left extremist” because they know that it helps motivate both their own base and also the more centrist voters to vote against them later. We could literally elect a potato as president that does nothing but sit around and be a potato but if it ran as a democrat then it’d eventually be called a left wing extremist.
Their positions and talking points are actually aligned but apparently in order to run as a Republican you gotta scare the voters into thinking the other candidate is a scaaaaaary liberal even if they're literally you but with a different haircut
