What they leave out is the salient fact that "Sweden Democrats" are in fact a far-right, ultra-nationalist, white-supremacist party with roots in fascism.

Amazing how Faux couldn't find any room in its long article, or the headline, for that fact, which more than offsets the misleading "Democrats" name for the group.

1. It's like thinking

Hitler was left wing because he was a National Socialist.

2. I've met RWNJs who said just that.

5. They are simple.

I wonder how they can even figure out the politics of Europe with the numerous parties, confusing labels (to RWers), and affiliations. It isn't just D/R over there.

6. The superficial treatment of political dimensions in the country is quite unfortunate.

The whole "liberal" vs. "conservative" dichotomy is better suited to the 18th and 19th centuries.
Modern American "conservatism" has basically been taken over by radical rightists. IMHO, the center-left is now the true "conservative" faction, in that they're trying to preserve and incrementally expand on the social safety net established during the New Deal and Great Society periods.

3. If Trump and the Republicans are the cancer then Fox is the pre-cancerous growth.

Fox is worse than fake news, they are now state sponsored manufactured propaganda.

4. I always thought of Faux

as an endless RW infomercial.
