    fitting on the traditional left/right spectrum.

    Maybe if you are using the American definition of left and right… The traditional geopolitical definition of left and right has to do with economics not how woke you are.

    By the traditional definition of left and right he is definitively right winged.

      I can’t verify this for all of the non US west but i was under the impression that far right party in Germany was running on an anti-immigrant rhetoric and that plenty of smaller populist parties are mimicking maga.

        Yes, most far right parties are very nationalistic and based in populism. They typically are also very pro capitalism while being very anti socialism.

        A parties view on cultural progressiveness isn’t the main determining factor wether or not they are far left or far right.
