You are correct and I should have only mentioned schools and education, which tend to implement their own policies and agenda irrespective of the orientations of the government. Again, same in Europe or the UK, where you may have a right-wing government, yet, teachers in schools, and the education system as a whole, is clearly enforcing left-wing principles (ie. you can't expel troublemakers; you can't tell them that a man cannot be pregnant; you can't enforce selection based on marks only and are strongly encouraged to implementent quotas, etc, etc, etc...)
Someone keeps forcing this affirmation, apparently, in accordance with the saying that "if you repeat a lie enough times people will begin to believe it". Bernie Sanders is a centrist, allegedly, wokism is to the right of the spectrum. And big government, welfare state, regulations of every sphere of life are free market institutions. Stop farting to your own ears. Almost every US government is left-leaning because in the current climate the alternative will be a political suicide.
if the US is so left-wing, you should be able to place it on a spectrum as such. over the last 50 years, according to you, what major democracies have been comparably centrist, and which have been right-wing?
Tolerate bad behavior, scepticism towards discipline and efforts... the results are very logical.
