I am a Takoma Park Republican

I work for the County. We do have one regular anti-immigrant conservative who writes in from Takoma Park. So there is at least one.

Countdown to him being outed and fired by a Democrat rage-mob, 5... 4... 3... 2...

You are a Takoma Park blowhard, is all.

What do you think of Trump?

I believe that there are two genders. I do believe that same-sex couples should have the right to marry, but that is because that marriage and family are values held constant for thousands of years and would alleviate child poverty a lot more than any government programs would. I am for charity and benevolence of individuals and churches before government. I believe that our freedoms are uniquely American and come with the responsibility to protect our way of life through responsible immigration policy.
In generally, I believe that regulations do more harm than good.

I live in Takoma Park.

You may have walked or cycled by my house. It's a cute bungalow that had a Larry Hogan sign outside at one point. I may have stood behind you in line at the Food Co-op. Maybe you have seen me at the Farmers Market one Sunday afternoon. I frequent Mark's Kitchen, Republic, and Bev Co. I like to see our small businesses thrive.

If you've met me, I have always been polite, even though there is a 9 out of 10 chance we disagree on politics. I am well acquainted with Congressman Raskin and have had friendly chats with him when I've seen him walking his dog with his wife.

I have met County Executive-elect Elrich and commend his choice to drive a zero-emissions Nissan Leaf, an innovation brought to us by the free market, I might add.

I'm just your friendly Takoma Park Republican. I am blessed to live here where I have met hundreds of people - many of them have become good friends - with perspectives and views with which I disagree with.

In a country that has gotten more polarized and divisive with every election cycle, I urge others to do the same.

weird flex but ok

So what is your lubrication of choice, OP! Since most Republicans are the very people that they hate so much. Do you frequent men's restrooms too, or are you a boy's soccer coach? Pray tell!

I had to read this very carefully to make sure it is not my DH. He is the other TP republican, but more in the closet.

I am liberal but not nearly as much as my friends, I think they consider me to be more moderate. I often see the discussions on the listserv and think - THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE LIBERALS. "Hate has no home here" except we hate a lot of America.

I do hate Trump, but at least I see the hypocrisy.

Independent here. What I find really interesting in the DC area is that many Dems I casually know will just approach me and start criticizing Republicans, thus assuming that I'm a Democrat. There's just this automatic assumption that I'm one.

Statistically, it's a sound bet that anyone with a secondary education isn't down with Trump's party.

I can't understand how a good Christian could be down with a party that believes it's okay to put the kids in cages or its leader who boasts about sexual assault, not to mention his well-documented adultery with Stormy.

Tell us more about how wonderful you are and why a statue in your honor should be erected in Takoma Park.

This was happening even before Trump became President. I find it a little presumptuous.

Dennis Hastert and Larry Craig come to mind as the stereotypical GOP hypocrites.

All that repression is scary.

How exciting!
