Not the PP, I think they made an interesting observation. Someone else would have to do a rigorous study to validate whether what they observed is consistently the case. |
Who is TFG? |
+1 to all of this. I also think it is quaint they don't think we own guns too. Some of us don't need to brandish one to compensate for other shortcomings. |
AOC has nothing to do with this. Reproductive rights are not a far left belief. |
Pretty much. They'll eff it up like they always do. But hey, their kids won't have to learn about systemic racism! |
I am so tired of the extreme short term memories of the American public. It really feels like I’m living with the decisions of a large group of schizophrenics |
This! |
In most other western countries, AOC’s positions are not radical either .. |

I have a few long time friends that are Republicans.
They like to think of themselves as separate from the MAGAs— a fiction I have indulged for too long. I’m coming to accept they are the same as my lunatic right wing family and near as much, if not more, responsibility for where we are given their education and access to power (compared to most). It’s sad. I hope our friendships don’t end when I politely point their guilt out. |

While I shake my head at the bizarre and destructive trajectory of the Republican Party’s political antics, I think it is best to take people as you find them.
Our DC married into a Republican family (Trump supporters except her husband) and they turned out to be really nice, kind and reasonable people. We still have good friends who are old fashioned Republicans and they are trying to help their party get back into a sane path. They are from deep red states so a lot of it is culture and family traditions. On the other hand, there are definitely Democrats who are arrogant, unkind and not open to different ways of thinking. If we stay in our own Echo chambers, things will only get worse. Most Americans whether D or R support women’s choice and gun controls. i agree with PP who argued for finding common ground and working on that. We need federal protection for abortion rights. |
DP. The Former Guy = Trump |
who happen to support racism, nationalism, mysogyny and otherwise subjecting people who aren't straight white christians as the other in a neo-fascist future USA ruled by mobs of Oathkeepers, 3%ers and Proud Boys. Fine people indeed and you are excusing them. |
| To the poster who referenced schizophrenics - I am a liberal Democrat who had a schizophrenic brother. He was as kind and liberal as they come. Please don’t throw around mental illness labels as insults. |
The only other thing I can think of is bipolar, and that isn’t “kind” either I mean, I understand what you are getting at and I understand how hard it is. But there is very little else to compare the way people have been wildly swinging back and forth and taking us through it with them. |
“USA ruled by mobs of Oathkeepers” - go out and get some fresh air. It’s a nice summer day. |
