+1 this is me exactly

I only discuss politics with conservative friends/family.

Lol. Why do you have to hide away? That is pathetic.

Oooh that dig would really hurt, if we cared at all what you thought.
This is why we keep quiet. No one wants to hear/deal with you.

We got it. We know you are vile scum. No further discussion needed.

Ok. You’re vile scum too. And no one wants to deal with you.
We could go on and on like this all day. Not sure what the insults prove, though.

I go even further. I parrot back the same leftist idiot platitudes, but turned up to 11. Many of my libiot acquaintances think I’m a full-on Marxist, and I chide them for being borderline conservatives.

I voted for Trump three times. They never suspect it. Morons.

Yup. Trumphumpers are POS liars. No surprise here.

Actually, what you are hearing here is that liberals have become so intolerant of other views that tipping one’s hand to a conservative viewpoint could cost a job, play dates, whatever. The new mcarthyism. Agree with me or you’ll be labeled a racist and lose everything.

This ^. There is a strange and scary intolerance going around where any legitimate policy disagreement is called racism, etc.

Which specific “policy”?

A real one? Or one manufactured by politicians?

Moderate Dem here (and NP.)

Just a few legitimate policy discussions that often get attacked unfairly as racism:

Immigration reform
Various facets of advanced academics
Student loan forgiveness

Obama was the toughest president on immigration … so that is manufactured outrage.

I don't know....2020 was entirely reactionary to trump and we ended up with a moderate democrat. See no reason why that pattern will not continue. Trump will be nominated. The Dems will again nominate a candidate that can get the independents in the 2 dozen districts in the 7 states that matter who will be a moderate democrat again. Maybe will even repeat again in 2028 if trump is still around.

The good thing about our system is, if the pendulum swings too far to the left, opposing forces swing it back to the right, then if too far right, opposing forces swing it back to the left.
Overall, the country remains around the middle --not too far left or right which is what the majority of Americans want, myself included.

I see the two parties as two sides of the same coin: flip it any way you want but the Constitutions keeps its value. If the coin lands on the edge, a Libertarian gets elected.

I must be a liberal.

People can think they’re funnier than they are on both sides of the aisle.

Maybe Biden himself is a moderate Dem but he's cowtowing to all the super liberals. If the R's could put forward even remotely sane candidate I would likely vote for that person over Biden. But I know that no remotely sane Republican is going to win a primary.

So would lots of people but that ship has sailed. Trump is gods gift to the democrats until he finally goes away.

Of course, you can always be off base but the voting charts are a good give away.

The complete ignorance in this response.

I'm a conservative, I have an MBA and a PhD. I also have a job that likely pays more than the vast majority of liberals, meaning I actually pay taxes that fund all your social giveaway programs.

Want to know who the conservatives are? They are the ones working too many hours to spend all day posting on forums and other social media.

I didn’t laugh because I don’t know what a towel charm is. I’m conservative FWIW.

It's more like an over-inflated hot air balloon, and Trump has a dart gun...

HA and yet here you are.

Clearly you are an idiot if you support Eastman and Trump. Eastman's coup? Trump's criminality? Give us a break go back to the hole you belong to.

Words like woke, socialism, etc yeah you may have made it through school, but given your post, you are the complete opposite of educated. Because if you were you would not be part of the death criminal cult.
