When I was growing up in the 1980s and early 90s, the American political system was basically dominated by a Center-Left (made up of Progressives) and a Center-Right (made up of Conservatives and Right-Progressives) in the Republican Party. The reason why we have terms like New-Left (Socialists and Communists) and New-Right (Nationalists and Christian-Fundamentalists) because the fringes of the American political spectrum use to be just that, fringes that mainstream America didn't pay much attention to, because they seemed like escaped mental patients on a national field trip or something.
But since we only have a two-party, we have a Democratic Party that's made up a lot more people than just Liberals and Progressives. And a Republican Party that has more than just Barry Goldwater Conservative-Libertarians and Dwight Eisenhower Right-Progressives. And since because of our two-party system we the Far-Left and Far-Right has no where else to go politically, if they want any real power in America and a strong voice in American politics.
So we have terms like New-Left, because the Left in America is not just FDR and LBJ Progressives, but Socialists who in some cases are social democratic, but in other cases at least sound like Communists, or Neo-Communists.
And we have a Right in America that's not just made up of again Goldwater Conservative-Libertarians and Eisenhower Right-Progressives, but Nationalists and Christian-Fundamentalists as well. And both of the fringe factions in America believe they should at the very least be running the Democratic and Republican parties, if not the entire country. Even if the rest of the country looks at them like they are escaped mental patients on a national field trip.
This page is about Nationalists and the Christian-Right in America. These folks are not conservative, at least in any American constitutional and limited government sense, but people who look at politics and America from their fundamentalist religious and cultural viewpoints.

Sargon of Akkad
"Carl Benjamin (born 1979)[2] is a British anti-feminist YouTuber also known by his online pseudonym Sargon of Akkad. A former member of the Eurosceptic right-wing UK Independence Party (UKIP), he was one of its unsuccessful candidates for the South West England constituency in the 2019 European Parliament election.
During the Gamergate controversy, Benjamin accused feminists of infiltrating video game research groups to influence game development. Since Gamergate, he has focused on promoting Brexit and criticising feminism, Islam, identity politics, and what he views as political correctness in the media and other institutions. Benjamin has been described as politically "right-wing" and "far-right" by multiple outlets. He denies this description of his politics, instead calling himself a "classical liberal".
In 2016, in response to politician Jess Phillips's complaint that she frequently received rape threats from men online, Benjamin tweeted to her: "I wouldn't even rape you." Criticism of this comment—and a later remark in which Benjamin said he might rape Phillips but for the fact that "nobody's got that much beer"—dominated press coverage of his European Parliament candidacy."
