I'm so glad you asked.

I'm beginning to feel a little gas-lit.
That refers to the Overton Window, as you can see it's generally just vibes, and not actual measurable mechanics.
Right. I must've missed that because I don't care about this conversation at all. Labels were never my thing to begin with. But you can call me right-wing if it makes you feel better, as long as I get to keep my trans boyfriend.
You asked me, so I answered. Personally, I think left/right is hopelessly reductive, it ties too many unrelated things together, and says nothing of social views, of which you're presumably very progressive despite right wing economic views.
That's why I wouldn't call you "right wing" before I called you a liberal, which I'm sure we are both comfortable with.
Hey, you're the expert.
I personally couldn't care less about economics. There are too many things to be right and passionate about for me to start worrying about all that theoretical insanity.
That's fine, never said you had to.
