Extreme right, maga, redneck. None of those are helpful either.
Okay, but there was only one leader who has been using that type of language for the last 2.5 years.

If decorum is that important to you, shouldn't you be leading by example and not supporting a leader who engages the most in that type of behavior?

Socialism I think is OK to use, as long as it is used in the proper context. Socialism is akin to maybe a capitalist on the other side??
Except PP never used it in the proper context. He called Trudeau, Carney and Singh all socialists and radical leftists.

Canada doesn't have a mainstream socialist party. PP also said the Nazis were socialists, which isn't just wrong, it's disrespectful and offensive to the many socialists who were murdered by the Nazis.

As a political science major, he should know this. So either he knows better and is being deliberately inflammatory, or he's a god damn moron.

So again, I ask you, if decorum is as important to you as you seem to suggest it is, why do you keep supporting someone who frequently and deliberately shows zero regard for it?
