Per research, there is no difference between liberals and conservatives when asked about mood. Stop using random anecdotes on a message board to determine your opinions. I could also cite anecdotes about hateful racist and misogynistic comments from conservatives here and elsewhere.

If they researched DCUM the results would be markedly different.

You think DCUM is a representative sample of the population? Maybe learn basic info about research methods?

Of course not but here we are. The alt-left posters here are angry and vindictive.

If I used DCUM, I would think republicans are racist and misogynist. But at least I know it is not a representative sample and have friends and family who believe differently than me.

Do you not have real world friends or family with different political views? Get out of your bubble.

I literally don’t have a bubble.

You seem to be the only liberal poster here that doesn’t think Republicans are all MAGA pedo-loving, misogynistic, knuckle dragging wife beaters. Have you not read most of this thread, or any other thread here for that matter?

Well you aren’t really helping to dispel some of those stereotypes, are you.

This thread is a perfect example of how lame it is to care too much about politics. You are all insufferable dorks.

The best part is your assumption that I’m conservative.

He’s not even your stereotypical trump voter or whatever. Good job in coastal city, just got engaged, owns a house, many friends. But he’s gone down this rabbit hole of right wing politics and it leaves me baffled

My nephew is the same. He wants to make money and will not be impacted by Trump’s policies and just doesn’t seem to care more than that.

LOL. Doesn’t have a bubble but dutifully parrots all right-wing stereotypes of liberals.

The entire premise of this thread ("how can my well adjusted son be Republican?!") is grotesque.

Liberals here. Posters here are caricatures that rarely exist outside anonymous forums. The ones that do become meme immortal.

Why can’t he just come to his senses and be an ally to LGTBQIA+ folks (especially trans kids) and support basic rights for BIPOC peoples and understand no human being is illegal?

Because he's an idiot. They're out there.

it is just the next step in the evolution , once you have nothing but contempt for other people , you know, those damn deplorables, the US workers that do manual labor, well the next step is to make sure you tell your family "they" are not human.

makes them feel superior.

You’ve just described the Republican attitude towards immigrants.

Fixed it for you.

Wrong.

MAGA is not Republican. It’s a cult devoid of culture or ethics or morality.

Republicans were just members of a political party.

Got it.

Okay, run with that and keep losing presidential elections for eternity.

Oh noes, you feel the world is against you so you want to vote for the grifter billionaires who don't give a shit about you? See how that helps you and your family, kids, etc.

I’m a Harris-voting, lifelong Democrat, you moron. I am just not sealed inside the deep blue bubble like you are. I want to win the presidential election again some day, and I see nobody on the horizon who even comes close to being a realistic candidate.

For context, I accurately called Trump’s wins months before the election each time, as well as Biden’s. I’ve correctly predicted each presidential election since I started paying attention (Obama). I tried to warn people here that Trump was going to win and got a lot of posts back about how wrong I was. 🤷‍♀️

Also don’t come back about stupid special elections or whatever. They are irrelevant to national voting patterns. The Democrats will win the midterms but at this rate will get trounced again in the presidential election unless a dark horse candidate emerges. And a lot of that has to do with the denialism on display in this thread.

If you’re hoping for a white male candidate who won’t scare away the racists and who is good at insulting people and pandering to young men with shallow lies, those are called Republicans.

Why are we getting lectures about The Democrats Hate Young Men And Have Lost Them Forever (with zero evidence to back that up, other than “sometimes they talk about issues that don’t center me” and “why did Harvard reject me and why do I not have an upper management job at age 25”), and no corresponding lectures about The Republicans Hate Women And Will Never Win Another Election Because Of That? Republicans actually back that up with policy. Women are bleeding out in hospital parking lots. There’s a huge push to get women out of the military, jobs, and academia, and back in the kitchen having babies. There’s talk of removing their right to vote, and going back to the days when women couldn’t open bank accounts or have credit cards in their name. Now THAT’S real hatred. “Oh no, the acronym BIPOC exists” is not.

There are so many threads devoted to Winning Back Young Men for Democrats, and zero devoted to Winning Back Young Women for Republicans. That should tell you what the real problem is. Republicans don’t give a sh*t about women, except as baby vessels. They don’t need to. They already have a structural advantage baked in to the Electoral College. They have the Supreme Court locked down for a generation. They have an enormous billionaire-backed media megaphone pumping out lies and distortions to the public 24/7. They don’t need anyone’s vote except for straight white evangelical men, and that is exactly who the country is being run by and for. Spare us the sob stories about underrepresentation.
