[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I'm the OP. I don't think I'm a troll. The reason I ask is this. A mom I have been pretty close with for 5 years described another mom as "super progressive just like us." I am conservative and I have never said or done anything to imply that I am progressive, in fact I make a point to stay neutral and change the subject because I don't discuss these things outside my family. So I was curious if there were ways people broadcast their affiliation. I will admit that I am lax with my kids about Covid but the other markers you have stated do not apply to me. Thanks and sorry if I offended anyone. [/quote]

Oh well that's because the way you tell a liberal is they assume everyone agrees with them! When I've had to tell liberals I am not a liberal they are actually shell shocked. Oops! Got exposed to someone with different views![/quote]

+1.  Exactly.  I've found that many liberals are so arrogant in their assumptions that their views are the only correct position to hold and that anyone who doesn't agree with those views doesn't hold a DIFFERENT opinion, they have a WRONG opinion.  I think the media endorses this BS by making anything other than the progressive agenda the "alternate" one.  And for the record, I'm a conservative in terms of fiscal and international policy but lean heavily toward the middle on social issues.  [/quote]

You don’t know the difference between opinion and fact.

Fiscally conservative but socially middle… so do you vote for money over humans or the other way around?[/quote]

Pretty sure I do know the difference but nice try. I am entitled to an opinion on what it think is reasonable and rational in terms of social and fiscal policies. You may not agree with it, but it doesn’t make it wrong no matter how much your media likes to convince us that it is.  And I hardly think someone from the party of “border agents whipping Haitian refugees” or “humanitarian crises at the border” or “supporting Taliban leadership that rapes and tortures its own women and children” is in a position to lecture me on “the humans”.[/quote]
