    Political “debates” are useless, but I always like to watch different conceptions from different countries.

    When I see USA politics right-wingers have some speeches and actions that left-wingers have in my home country and vise-versa.

    Like, leftwingers in my country usually attack a former rightwing president because he supposedly fomented immigration, specially illegal immigration. (Although, here rigwingers also have more hate against the inmigrant, just like US) 1 (sorry for the language, didn’t find an english version of it)

    Or a former leftwing president that mobilized our army to Haiti to protect their democracy 2

    Same with labels: In US “liberal” is a left wing label, in my country is a righ wing one.

    Same apply in other countries, like I see Spanish news when “republicans” are the radical ones, usually left-wing, because they oppose monarchy, and the “republican” flag is a left-wing symbol for spaniards.

    That’s why political labels are pretty useless too. Republican means literal nazi or revolutionary against monarchy depending where you are lol.
