> So I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with me about?

That you're trying to spin a narrative where the US Republicans are not considerably more to the right than even the right-wing parties of Europe.

AKK was even considered to be on the economic left-wing of the CDU? Sure, she had socially conservatives idea based on religion which is a shame but even the CDU's "family centered politics" would be considered a Bernie Sanders welfare state by the US conservatives.

People aren't necessarily full blown reactionaries like the US Republican party just because they have cherry-picked conservative ideas.
