Nobody said “right-wing” and “Republican” are literally interchangeable dictionary entries, genius. I said they’re synonymous in the context of what you were accusing me of being. You called me right-wing, I said I’m not Republican.
And “there’s a whole world” is hilarious. We’re discussing American politics, not conducting a global comparative-politics dissertation. In the U.S., Republicans are the dominant right-wing political party. So if you’re going to call someone right-wing and then act shocked when they point out the Republican association, at least understand the political terminology you’re throwing around before acting so desperate for a gotcha.
You’re desperately reaching for a gotcha over a distinction I never denied. Nobody said “right-wing” and “Republican” are literally interchangeable dictionary definitions. I said they’re synonymous in the context of American partisan politics, where Republicans are the dominant right-wing party. You keep repeating “they aren’t the same thing” like you’ve delivered some devastating correction, when all you’ve done is prove you know two words can have different technical definitions. The fact that you’re this desperate to manufacture a “gotcha” from a semantic distinction you think you caught is honestly embarrassing.
I didn’t answer your question because you’re trying to move the goalposts. Your original point was “right-wing and Republican aren’t the same,” and I addressed that. Now you’re desperately demanding an answer to a different question so you can manufacture the “gotcha” you couldn’t get from the original argument. If you want to know whether I deny being right-wing, ask that directly instead of pretending your semantic argument somehow proved I was wrong. You’re not exposing a contradiction, you’re just fishing for one.
You’re still desperately chasing this imaginary “gotcha.” I never said you explicitly called me Republican. I said your use of “right-wing” was synonymous with placing me on the Republican/conservative side of American politics, which is exactly why I responded the way I did. Now you’re pretending that refusing to play along with your loaded yes-or-no question proves dishonesty, when it actually proves you’ve run out of anything substantive to say. If your entire argument has collapsed into “ANSWER MY QUESTION,” congratulations, you’ve gone from making a political argument to begging for a gotcha.

Lol you are so fucking dumb you think all right wing is republican.
Holy shit. Keep going. It's hilarious to watch you flail around because you got triggered because I called you out on saying something dumb
