If it's "bad" - it's always called "right wing". I remember some dumb celebrity sneering about those "liberal right wingers".
On TV, when a group is terrorizing everyone over some issue, they're always called "right wing", even if their reason is, they're against the Second Amendment or in support of abortion rights.

I think Spoon would disagree.

The political spectrum is circular, not linear.

Has a LOT to do with how you define the right and left, and how much is opinion based on experience within this country.
Generally, right wing principles gravitate towards anarchy and the wild west. GOP practice - not so much.
Fascist always wear such sharp uniforms.
Without watching the videos, I have always understood one of the main differences between Italian Fascism and German National Socialism was the racial element of National Socialism.
Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf's father certainly though so. He modeled the New Jersey State Police uniforms off of the Fascists.
That from a friend of mine who was a NJ State Cop.
Fascists... NJ State Police.... hmmmmm.

Just sneakin' around....
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I tred very lightly when driving thru there.
While on convalescent duty after getting shot by a perp (he nailed the perp in the forehead), Tom was assigned to State Police archives to straighten out files. Found a very interesting one. Looks like Teddy Kennedy had a Chappaquiddick-like incident in New Jersey while brother Jack was POTUS and Bobby was AG.
