[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to have become a thing with social media.  The alt right troll-ization of the right.  Why is it so important to conservative identity?

It’s not important. It’s just amazingly easy, because libs freak when you propose the most obvious common-sense things, like: no open borders, deport people who are here illegally, men play sports against men, criminals should post cash bail, the military is for fighting—not for DEI indoctrination…[/quote]

What a perfect example of how conservatives don’t like or understand complexity.  They don’t have the knowledge or patience for thoughtful, sincere problem solving. [/quote]

[quote]Exactly! Those aren’t real Democratic positions; they’re cartoonish Republican strawmen.

1. “Open borders”:  No mainstream Democrat supports that. They back sensible border security, not wasting billions on a wall in empty desert that can be cut through with a $30 angle grinder. They want legal pathways for refugees and workers who strengthen our economy, not a free‑for‑all.

2. “Anti‑deportation”:  False. Democrats support deporting violent criminals. What they oppose is mass deportation of people with no record; over 97% of Trump’s deportees had none. Also, Democrats believe in due process.

3. “Men invading women’s sports”:  Nonsense. Democrats support inclusion, but with fairness (not for competitive advantage), and believe in leaving the rules to athletic associations, not to politicians.  Odd that the "small government" Republicans want bathroom and locker room police.  As for whether someone does something indecent in a bathroom or locker room, we already had plenty of laws on the books for that long before MAGA came along.

4. “Criminals released without accountability”:  Wrong again. Democrats argue cash bail punishes poverty, not crime. They support detaining dangerous offenders regardless of wealth, while not jailing low‑risk defendants over minor charges. It’s risk‑based detention, not “letting criminals run free.”

5: “Military as a DEI experiment”:  Another distortion. Democrats want the military to reflect the real America, diverse, fair, and inclusive, without compromising combat readiness. Republican assertions here are as absurd as Trump pretending we were hiring “dwarves, amputees, and epileptics” for air traffic control; the health and skill requirements are quite rigorous.

Bottom line: Your so‑called “common sense” ignores nuance and flattens complex positions into caricatures. That’s not “speaking truth” or “triggering libs”, it’s just demonstrating your own ignorance and misunderstanding of why Democrats are annoyed with you.[/quote]
