This is how it works with demagoguery: You either outright oppose them as best as you can--or you end up with them and their syncophants.

That word "far" shouldn't be used to describe what half the population supports.

If you bend the definition of "far" well past the breaking point, then these are all far-left positions: universal healthcare, voting by mail, DACA, assault rifle bans, handgun bans, legal abortion, trans recognition...

No matter who is president, "far" is not an appropriate word. The president won a popularity contest, and is thus inherently not "far".

If half the country is far-right, then the other half must be far-left (to stay calibrated on the center), and "far" has lost all meaning.

Voting by mail is far left?

Based on how the OP to OP defined right if you also had to categorize the left in the same way yes its fair to call it far left.

What about voting? Is voting far left?

Further to my original comment, as you can see, bringing this up results in your comment being flagged while other users freely go about spreading racist rhetoric. Just a few days ago I had a "discussion" with a user who drew an equivalence between "black lives matter" and an honest to goodness white nationalist slogan, and when I challenged this, mumbled about the ADL's "agenda". Guess who got flagged?
