Am I considered far right now?

[Septemberisaweirdmonth]

Years ago I would have described myself as liberal and on the left. Over recent years the things I seem to agree with seem to be considered to be on the right and even far right

Examples:

I see nothing wrong with wanting to retain British culture or the innate culture of any country and see nothing wrong with a country being proud of its flag..as many are-Spain, Usa, Portugal etc etc

Whilst I have no issue with anyone being transgender, I do not believe transgender males should play in female sports, be in female toilets, prisons etc and I don’t believe children should be given drugs to alter their gender.

I think immigration in Europe needs to be controlled.,and quickly

I would be put off a man and likely wouldn’t see him again if he asked to split the bill on a first date. I can pay the bill four times over, but that’s not the point.

I am educated to post degree status and worked full time in my career for many years until I had my dc, I then wanted to and was thankfully able to stay at home. I see nothing wrong with the man going out to work, the mum staying home, taking care of the kids and the house-if that suits everyone and they’re happy doing that. My ideal scenario now would be a nice community, homeschooling and raising kids.

I am not anti abortion completely but my stance leans more towards this angle (I don’t tell anyone this though)

I regularly watched Charlie kirk, whilst I didn’t agree with everything and i’m not hugely religious, I agreed with a lot of his points and found he made his points respectfully. I also regularly watch Piers morgan uncensored

I didn’t agree with the almost forcing of people to have the covid injection

I quite like Trump

I feel embarrassed writing all this down as I feel I can’t really say this in real life

Have I become far right?

Ignore the haters 😍

Bog standard Conservative imo. I hate that all debates now descend into The (Far) Left vs The (Far) Right. Whatever happened to centrist mediocrity. I'm left of centre, but yearn for the days back of moderate Conservatism instead of the ultra right wing we have now in Reform. It scares me that Tommy Ten Names can get 100,000 people together in London and the opposition gets 5,000.

Yes, you are far right. But you seem to be one of those that have strayed into it because you've been influenced and don't know much about politics anyway. Because if you'd held strong principles before you would know already. I suspect years back when you were "liberal and left leaning" you were following the crowd then too.

Unfortunately a lot of people are like this, they just go with whatever is "popular" at the time and change with whichever way the wind blows.

Firstly, you are absolutely and completely entitled to feel how you like about anything, and I would defend your right to do so.

Secondly, how did you ever believe you were left wing?

I know what you mean, but I definitely do not quite like Trump and a lot of things have always been complicated. Immigration is complicated. I do like a lot of gad saad (my autocorrect writes gas salad, probably appropriate) writes, and he's definitely viewed as right wing.
It's just...today I was in a cafe and two older men were talking about Charlie Kirk and I don't really know why I was suddenly repelled. It was maybe the way they talked about things as if they were all so simple and obvious. They ticked off trans rights, "too many pride marches", immigrants, feminism, in such a cosy way, in five minutes. As if any of those issues were actually ones they had any first hand experience of.

He's morally reprehensible. There have been multiple accusations and plenty of speculation but he has never been convicted of either. If you think he was found guilty of rape then you did not follow the case closely enough. You might want to consider including the word "alleged" in further posts if you wish to make libellous claims.

Yes you are right wing

Well, I've no idea really as I don't think it's that clear cut. I'm always surprised though when a woman mentions liking Trump though. Is it actually possible to have positive feelings towards someone like that with the crimes it has been proven he's committed against women? Very odd, especially as an educated woman.

If the goalposts ever included a convicted felon, sexual offender as a president then I’ve wandered onto the wrong sports field.

Are you ashamed of your beliefs?

You are aware that the small boat crossings increased significantly with the advent of Brexit. Who was responsible for Brexit? You're being played.

Policy and process takes time and labour are making in roads.

No one was forced to have the Covid vaccine.

I’d say your views align with the right but aren’t so extreme that you are far right

Nothing wrong with wanting to preserve your culture but the flag people are generally racist bigots (at least they are where I am from)

yes-

I think the big difference here is between your personal views on how you want to live your life, and what you think should be mandated in law- ie what people should be forced to do. I may personally feel that I would never do x y or z, but do I feel that my own personal preferences should dictate others choices? There can be a very big difference between these.

YABU for starting an incendiary post, which is, let's be honest, fucking tedious at this point.

Fuck having a good time and getting along, let's just fight and argue.

I blame day drinking.
And I don't even trust these posts are genuine - just ad revenue crud.

We share the exact same views (minus Charlie Kirk - I wasn't aware of him until this week).

We're all far right now.

Pardon?

Right wing (although there is nothing right wing about recognising that men aren't women and women need single sex spaces and sports) but not far right. Conservative, I guess. Might depend on why exactly you like Trump, what policies of his do you admire?

That's another problem with what passes for the modern Left. Everything they don't like is far right. Not centre right, or right, but far right. I'm not a Tory but they aren't a fascist party.

So you're now Conservative/Reform.

Are you looking for vindication? Absolution?

We pretty much were. My employer told us we all had to. There were a few anti vaxers at my school that lied to keep their job.

Probably.
I’m so over people like you. This is how we ended up with Brexit.

"Fiscal responsibility"

Given Farage wanted a Brexit that has cost the country billions, has plans for massive tax cuts with no clue as to how to pay for them, and is planning to spend billions on mass deportations I'd say the last thing you"ll get from him is sound finances.

Farage has no interest in solving real problems. Wheres his solution to cleaning up rivers, social care, school buildings? Has he ever expressed any interest in these things?

I think the point about this is that we seem to have lost the option to be blurry and somewhere in the middle, agreeing with certain points from various “sides” and instead have to have a label applied

Yes, small boat crossings have actually risen since Labour took office - over 50,000 people have crossed since July 2024, a 28% increase compared with the same period the year before. That shows the problem is getting worse, not better. Successive governments, both Conservative and Labour, have promised solutions but failed to deliver. If anyone is being played, it’s the public - fed excuses while crossings keep rising. That’s exactly why I feel I’ve been left with no choice but to consider voting Reform: I want action, not excuses.

Agreed. You’re not wrong. He is a convicted felon for other crimes however.

And just incase anyone has forgotten:

• He was convicted in a civil case of sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. Great guy.

• Separately recorded saying: ‘I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.’

• Lovely documented friendship with Epstein. Sent him a touching birthday note!

I could go on.
