[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is liberal propaganda.  Republican here. Not conservative.  Lots of us are Republican and not actually conservative.  But the bold generalizations here are so insane and I guess somehow make you feel like you are in the super majority.   But you aren't because that isn't the Republican party.

No one in my whole family of many generations of republicans fits the descriptions you list.  In my family we are Episcopalian and Presbyterian and Jewish.  My great grandmother was the child of a plantation owner and slave. 
 We are immigrants (recent and some not recent).  We are all college degree or higher. NONE of us have guns. All of us are vaccinated or will be when we are eligible.  We pay our taxes and recycle.  We volunteer and we donate.  We have solar panels and we drive hybrids.

We don't want to pay for other people's kids to go to school because we have all paid for ourselves or are saving to do it.  We don't believe that welfare is good for people but we do believe it should only be provided when necessary, and it shouldn't be necessary forever for people who are not disabled.  We believe in legal and safe abortion but not after 4 or so months.  At that point, science can probably safe that child if it is born premature so it should be protected under the constitution.

We believe that with all its faults and problems, the United States is still the best country in the world with the most opportunity, the most freedom, and the most stable form of government.  And yeah, we put out our flags.

My family has military but not a single cop in it but I still think most cops are on the right side of justice most of the time.

I think gay people should be able to marry, divorce, adopt etc.  But I don't think people get to pick their gender.  A lady can have her boobs removed and take steroids but she will never get testicular cancer and she might get ovarian cancer so as far as I can tell, biology has decided she is a girl.  But I don't care if she wants to dress like he.  Not my business or my bedroom.

You probably assume people like us are Democrats and that is why you cannot fathom that the election was so close.  [/quote]

question about this: what metrics are you using to say America is the best country? By population. wealth, health, and other measures we are so low. I’m just curious about this statement because I never understood how anyone came to this conclusion.[/quote]
