We need to hunt these people down. Every last conservative.

Hunt them down and expose them! Out them. Doxx them.

Show up at their homes with torches. Get them fired!!

Showing up in front of someone’s home with a torch is a great way to find yourself face down in their front yard, exsanquinating into the grass.

1. Is she a SAHM?
2. Does she belong to a church?
3. Does she do some type of charity work? Through church or other org?
4. Lack of attributes identifying her as being left leaning (pink/blue hair, hybrid vehichle, pronouns on LinkedIn, etc)?

From this, it sounds like you’ve never met a liberal woman.

My life is filled with them and I consider myself left leaning (I’ve never voted Republican in a presidential election).

Well if you consider PTA “charity work” then your list of 4 describes a huge swath of liberal women in my suburban neighborhood, myself included.

Just ask her to either sponsor you for a fundraiser race for pro-choice or anti- choice and you will get your answer.

Why do conservatives have this insane persecution complex? What do they get out of their perpetual victimhood? Ask them to wear a mask in a pandemic and it’s like they’re being burned at the stake. Tell them they need a vaccine in order to hold a job in public health and they are convinced they're in Nazi Germany. They are a bunch of dramatic teenagers

It seeps in from the Christian influence. Christians insist they're still being fed to the lions even when their guys is Emperor and putting down the other religions on their behalf.

Anyone have a spare lion?

Then, there are certain minorities who are preferred to other minorities. It reminds me of how back in the day one had to be of “worker or peasant descent” to be eligible for things.

Trust me we have seen it all. We don’t need propaganda to see where all this is going.

The propaganda is not fed to you through conservative TV it’s fed to you through TV in the language of your country of origin.

I am one of the EE PPs and I don’t watch or read news sources from my country of origin nor do I watch fox or newsmax or breitbart. I don’t watch any news but I read plenty, mainly NY Times and WaPo but a bunch of others most of which are either left or center-left. About the only publication I regularly read that wouldn’t qualify for that label is The Economist. And yet somehow I am still not a Democrat! I know it’s hard to believe but people can come to different conclusions than you without being brainwashed. Shocking!

Okay define the major tenets of conservative a Republican vs alt right vs Tea party. Which are you?

Wikipedia is right there, you can look it up for yourself. Moreover, you are not my teacher giving me a quiz for credit and I am not obligated to prove my bona fides to you. And that is why I tend not to discuss politics even in as cursory a fashion as I’ve done on this thread - any time you do so, people try to either prove to you how misguided you are or want to have a pointless time of a feedback loop of agreement. FWIW I am largely a libertarian politically. Republicans bother me less than Democrats.

PP and before you come back with your “but Trumpppppp” complaints, I loathe the man and did not vote for him. Nonetheless, between the two main parties, I skew Republican. If you are looking to convert or convince any of the former communist country posters by your tirades, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I’ve been harangued about the glories of one true path so many times in my former country, it really doesn’t stick any more.

The bolded is where you stop making sense. Only the Republicans think there is one true path. The Democrats are for "all in this together, don't suppress other peoples rights" -- and before you say it, they people they fight against are the ones trying suppress others' rights so they can to keep their one way of being the only way allowed in this country. Its really obvious.

What are you talking about? Democrats are very much into virtue signaling and cancel culture.

The Republicans are signaling they want to cancel elections.

Dems are NOT cancel culture

Who bans books every year? Conservatives
Who doesn't beleive in free and fair elections ie Democracy? Conservatives
Who wants to over turn roe vs wade? Conservatives
Who wants to silence people? Conservatives
Who wants religion and prayer in public schools? Conservatives and by the way we live in the US so which religion actually should we put in public schools I vote Islam or Buddhist not Catholic or Christian!

Yeah you got it backward?

Who topples down and destroys statues? Not the Republicans.

Who revises and distorts and lies about American history to justify grievances? Not the Republicans.

Who stacks school curriculums with Critical Race Theory that teaches everyone all white people are racist no matter what they do? Not the Republicans.

Who invented white privilege and describes anyone who protests as a racist, and claims you're still a racist no matter what you do? Not the Republicans.

Who created safe spaces in college and canceled and deplatformed anyone who disagreed or had different views? Not the Republicans.

Who fired the most prominent science writer in American for simply explaining what the "n" word meant to a kid who asked? Not the Republicans.

Who fired the opinions editor of a major newspaper simply for allowing a different view to be published in the paper? Not the Republicans.

Who shrieks about science and then deplatforms and accuses other people of hatred for simply pointing out there is no scientific basis in transgenders? Not the Republicans.

Who spent years blowing up the Russian collusion to delegitimate the Trump presidency? When it turned out to be completely invented? Not the Republicans.

The list goes on....

I said previously on this thread and I will say it again…it’s like two separate realities. The Russian collusion was invented? Oy vey

This is why we will NEVER come back together. We are operating from two different "realities". One based on facts and the other based on "alternative facts".

It comes up pretty quickly in conversation. I was at a playground and said hi to another mom who started talking about how public schools were teaching wrong ideas. I smiled and moved on.

Exactly. If you must know, just bring up a controversial topic and see what she says.

Yes, the reality of having lived in another country and experienced communism and socialism firsthand. Versus the fairy tale fantasy of how great “democratic socialism” could be.

Or being an immigrant from a country where fascists overthrew the government bc they don’t like election results and the country ends up with dictator. See how it can go both ways?

Yep. Just ask her her thoughts on transgender bathrooms - you'll get your answer.

That one might be a little obscure. I mean a lot of colleges just have bathrooms. They don't differentiate male, female, trans, etc....they just have a bathroom.

Pro, anti choice is a proven winner is suss out political views.
