I'm a professional working female 50+.
I'm a first generation American whose parents legally immigrated here and fully assimilated, learned the language...one parent earning their GED here and finally when I was 13 one became a full US citizen. They came here with nothing. They were proud...they didn't go on welfare, they didn't get any handouts. They worked hard and sacrificed to put their two kids through college...without any college debt.

They were among a wave of legal immigrants in the mid to late 70s...who followed the same paths...worked hard, sacrificed and bettered not only themselves but society. Became hard-working citizens whose 1st generation kids also became hard-working citizens...and so on.

The majority of us are all Republican-leaning with Conservative Policies and Values.

We all immigrated from a socialist country and while some have retired there (with the wealth they made here in the US).
We know the pros and cons of universal healthcare. We know the benefits...but we also know the disadvantages.
We know that while the US isn't perfect, we'd still be better off here. We go back and visit our country but we know if we ever went back we'd have to be able to afford the private care/private clinics rather than depend on the universal healthcare system where for a simple cyst removal you have to wait months and then travel 3-4 hrs to a town with a hospital that can do the procedure..even though you live in the capital city of your region with a public hospital.

We see what happens when a flood of illegal immigrants to a small country already struggling + the socialist regime of "free everything/subsidies" to everyone including the illegal immigrants and those who do not contribute to society does to a country. There's a reason that many countries facing these same struggles have similar "Trump" political parties on the rise....not as quickly as the US, but on the rise nonetheless.

Then we have this article: https://cmsny.org/how-europe-closing-doors-to-asylum-seekers/
Where do you stand on this? Are you the bleeding heart type...the "let them all in...damned the long-term consequences"?
How important to you is a country's national and cultural identity?

The only area where I personally deviate from the more far-right conservative values is when it comes to Roe v. Wade -- but tell me...why didn't the Dems during their many years in power ever codify it? And honestly, even during Roe v. Wade (which yes, should be brought back and codified) abortion was regulated.

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade recognized that the decision whether to continue or end a pregnancy belongs to the individual, not the government. Roe held that the specific guarantee of “liberty” in the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects individual privacy, includes the right to abortion prior to fetal viability.

After the point of viability, the state could ban abortion or take other steps to promote its interest in protecting the fetus. Even after that point, however, abortion must be permitted to protect a patient’s life and health.

Roe had two key parts: First, the Court ruled that, before viability, it is a pregnant person’s decision—not the government’s—whether to continue a pregnancy. Accordingly, the government cannot ban abortion for any reason prior to viability.

So -- yes, I believe in a woman's right to abortion....prior to fetal viability just as Roe v. Wade had intended and only after fetal viability to protect patient's life and health. But that doesn't address the gray areas of rape/incest if after fetal viability. It's also become hard to pin down "fetal viability" as it's a moving target as medical technology improves. So to get everyone to all agree on a codified Roe Act it's going to take a lot of compromise from both sides. And if it is codified into law...what is the punishment for breaking the law?

All this to say...I'll probably vote for Harris but don't you dare judge me for my Republican and Conservative Policies and Values because they will not at all change even if I vote for Harris.

I will still be against illegal immigration. We need to put a full stop to illegal immigration to allow our infrastructure to catch up. And yes, we do to some degree need to deport -- not all...but illegal immigrants with a criminal records/repeat offenders. As for those still here...no amnesty/automatic citizenship. I know Dems want to solidify their votes by granting more amenesty but heck no. Temporary work visas should be issued to all illegal immigrants, ensure they pay taxes! No free healthare. No subsidies. They come here to work and earn money only. If they want to remain after their work visa is up they to apply for citizenship they way all other legal immigrants do...go back to country of origin and wait like everybody else. No automatic birthright citizenship if born in the US to illegal immigrants! That's the worst thing every done -- and definitely needs reform! See what other countries are doing: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/birthright-citizenship-regulations-europe

I will still be against full universal healthcare...it's not the answer unless, like Australia does its universal healthcare, it only applies to our country's US citizens and not to illegal immigrants. But that also doesn't mean we simply grant amnesty/citizenship to the illegal immigrants already here - that's wrong too.

I will still be against other extreme far-left liberal values and beliefs.

The only thing I will be for? I will still be for Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion prior to fetal viability as discussed above.

Accept it and Respect it. Stop judging it. Because I'm not ever going to fully support all of your far left policies and values.

lol I will still be against other extreme far-left liberal values and beliefs….what exactly are these values and beliefs? Letting your parents in the country, believing in rule of law, not supporting a violent overthrow of the elected government, etc?

This is what is so unacceptable. People like who listen to Fox News and Trump tell the rest of us what is right and wrong. You are in a cult. Republicans have nothing to do with conservatives and you do not know what is leftist or far left.
