[quote=Anonymous]I have voted both republican and democrat in the past. I do think some of the criticisms of the left are supported.

What I can’t wrap my mind around though is how anyone of any political persuasion or socioeconomic status could listen to Trump speak, observe his actions, and think “yeah, this is the guy I want to lead the country.”

Also to some of the complaints people have mentioned — ok some of the DEI stuff was smug and I think listing pronouns (unless you are clearly gender ambiguous) is silly. But the level of harm is nowhere near the things going on right now to dismantle our government workforce, threaten other nations, cutting of aid to vulnerable populations, and basically take actions that will lead to massive job loss and economic harm. I’d rather just treat trans people with respect and call them whatever name they prefer. It really has little effect on anyone.

Re: immigration yeah we need a system. Things are not great as is. But I think it’s cruel to not require companies to use eVerify because that is politically unpopular, and then suddenly rip people out of this country after years of living here. Like we have to make sure the businesses who donate money to the politicians don’t get pissed off. So we’ll allow them to use up the undocumented immigrants when it benefits us, but then as soon as we decide we no longer want them, we send them off on military planes.

Like we could have just disincentivized economic migration through the use of business reforms instead. But people want their cheap stuff and then they also want to feel superior to brown people and cheer at the thought of them being shipped away. You can’t tell me there isn’t a lot of disgusting racism within the MAGA party. I really wish the true conservatives had managed to stop Trump long before we got here. [/quote]
