Cuomo was stung by his own comments when he said, "We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great."

The bigger challenge for the Nazis was the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), headed in Berlin by Walter Ulbricht, who would go on to become the de facto leader of post-war East Germany. The activist party had its strongholds in Berlin's blue-collar neighborhoods, like Friedrichshain and Wedding, and it had a powerful paramilitary organization in the Roter Frontkämpferbund (Alliance of Red Front-Fighters) -Sound like Antifa at all? .

Politicians who hoped to succeed in Berlin's "red" neighborhoods had to speak a language understood there. In a flyer distributed in September 1931 to unemployed workers waiting at a government agency in Berlin, Goebbels wrote that the party was turning to "workers without work and without hope, exposed to the most horrible form of desperation," and he promised "to destroy the system of capitalism and replace it with a new, socialist order."

In their appeal "to all of the unemployed," the Nazis cleverly called into question the strength of the leftist parties, the SPD and the KPD. Goebbels courted the proletarians by treating them like cheated brides, addressing them as "you who have been left forsaken by your seducers."

Goebbels was familiar with the communists' weak points, namely, the often out-of-touch language of their officials and the control Soviet leaders exerted over them. In Der Angriff, Goebbels wrote that the KPD, as a "Russian foreign legion on German soil" created "with Russian money and German human resources," was alienating many members of the proletariat.

I suppose it really depends on what you consider “the center”. I hold out hope that most people aren’t left or right for the sole purpose of belonging to a tribe so they can call people names and absolve themselves from thinking critically.

I lived with a girlfriend who is a Protestant Republican research biologist that believes in intelligent design. We talked about it a lot - it didn’t bother me because her view was measured and thought out. It wasn’t like she was throwing a wrench in researching Lyme disease because some drunk fishermen in the Mediterranean wrote down a bunch of fables 2 thousand years ago and that changes the fact that the dominant eye color of deer ticks is red. She was just fiscally conservative and believes “some intelligence” might have sparked the universe. Ok.

I don’t know what that has to do with anything other than you can get along with people you don’t always agree with; especially if they have a nice rump.

I've been "scored" as centrist on several "political" tests. More like when you're hard left, everyone else is a nazi.

You're in good company with Burlyman, so you're not the only conservative here. Well, I guess that makes 2 right wingers on the board. Any more? And if you're centrist NS, I've got a bridge to sell you, because I was classified as leaning libertarian when I took that test. Not even close, so that stupid test is simplistic and flawed.

By the way, there was CUDA and Spidey, and they were both reasonable conservatives. Maybe they're too embarrassed by the goings on in the Republican Party of Trump to even comment anymore.
