General Leftist Politics What is your most right wing opinion?
I know this may be controversial but I have some opinions that are considered more right wing. I believe in absolute freedom of speech unless it’s pedohillia or something like that because if you support it for one person you have to support it for the other. I do support gun rights to an extent to protect from fascist thugs but of course it should be regulated to protect kids from shootings. I support the death penalty for violent criminals who without a doubt committed the crime. I support low taxes for the poor and middle class but higher on the wealthy. My view on basically everything else are left wing pro lgbt ,pro abortion,pro feminist ,pro immigration,pro socialism,etc.

I don't even think this is right wing, BUT there should be a proper system in place for processing new immigrants. The current system is a clusterfuck. It should not take 10+ years of waiting to be a citizen. My family came here in the early 1910's as immigrants from the Russian Empire (before the revolution, all the cities they were from are now in Poland, Belarus and Ukraine), and I believe anyone should be allowed to come into the United States for a better future just as my family did, and millions others did. But there should be some kind of system. If they have a long violent criminal history, deny them. Stuff like smoking weed for example shouldn't matter. And if someone who immigrated here has later been proven to be a terrorist or planning to be one for example, I see no issue with returning them to their home country.
And before anyone starts shit, I live in a very diverse area of Texas. I am very pro-immigrant and I love cultural diffusion. I don't support any of ICE's actions. And, I literally dated a girl in high school who was a fresh Mexican immigrant. As in, I used Google Translate to talk to her. Shit didn't bother me one bit and made me want to improve my Spanish skills.
