Our political paradigm is not the same as in other countries. In Europe Barack Obama would have been right wing.
That's probably correct. The terms "left" and "right" are terms that grew out of Socialism itself, because "Left Wing" and "Right Wing" were the terms coined by
Stalin. The Left Wing of Socialism, in Stalin's model, was International
Socialism--i.e. Communism. The Right Wing of Socialism, again, according to Stalin, was National
Socialism--i.e. Nazism.
As I seem to recall from my own reading, America's mid-Twentieth-Century radical libs (all of whom where at least proto-Communists and in many cases were diehard devotees of Stalin himself) soon coopted Stalin's terms "Left" and "Right" and deliberately used the term "Right Wing" to smear their political opponents. After all, the Nazis were the nationalistic
enemies of globalistic Stalinists--so, the
globalism-oriented American
Socialists used the term "Right Wing" as a ridiculously broad brush to paint all of their own political
enemies (all patriotic and therefore necessarily
nationalistic [not to mention capitalistic] Americans) as veritable
Nazis. This terminological switcheroo was patently dishonest in that it automatically trashes any American who genuinely loves America as it was Constituted and at the same time obscures the pivotally important fact that such Americans are decidedly anti-Socialists--
certainly not Nazis (not even close!).
One of the spookiest things about the confusion in American politics is that the godless, lawless Globalist Socialists can pull out and use their Nazi-name-calling meme practically any time patriotic Americans insist that
law and order be maintained in defense of domestic (national!) peace and safety. For example, any American President who decides to use our police or our military (omigosh) to defend our borders or to defend our civil society against domestic enemies (for example, Alinskyite rioters) is sure to be labeled as a totalitarian monster.
("Yeah, Right-Wingers are just like that! They are heartless deplorables who hate people of other ethnicities and religions. And they like GUNS [omigosh].")
This propaganda backlash will surely hit Trump very soon. The whole mess is a matter of ideological smoke and mirrors, mainly because of stupid people who have been easily fooled by the self-righteous liars on the "Left."

The above essay will hopefully explain why I said earlier on this thread that the mess being seen in German is at least somewhat comparable to the mess in America. (Oh, it gets even worse. For example, Prescott Bush was a banker for the Nazis. And his son George Bush 41 is clearly a Global Socialist--who used the phrase "New World Order" 200 times in his speeches. He also clearly lied in his confirmation hearing for the position of CIA Director and ought to be a person of interest, at least, in the earlier CIA plot that killed JFK. No kidding.)
