[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m definitely voting D but I watched the R convention last night.

I’m so disappointed in the folks making nasty comments here. We don’t agree with what the R politicians are advocating for and we are going to defeat in the elections.

After all that is over they are still Americans just like us. They have families and [b]love their country.[/b] We need to take a step back and reunite on common ground. [/quote]
Honestly, I quibble with this. I don’t think they do. I’m not going to dehumanize them, but they do want to uninstall democracy and install something on the theocracy-oligarchy-fascism spectrum of bad government. You and I have not left the common ground that we all agreed on; they have. I’m not helping move the Overton Window any further. [/quote]

I'm 10:17 and I agree with  you, although they THINK they love this country.  But they clearly don't understand how it is supposed to work.  They have been so conditioned to fear the boogeymen the GOP keep screaming about, they have come to believe that the authoritarian way will save them.  This kind of thing just keeps happening over and over and over in human history.  [/quote]

PP, I probably could be your neighbor.  I’ve been educated at a top all women’s college and attended a top 20 law school. I don’t own a gun and have no desire to do so. I live in a liberal suburb of DC and have raised successful children who attend/attended colleges that most DCUM posters dream for their kids and are who are young enough to still vote democrat, though growing disillusioned with them. For the first 20 years of my adult life I was a single issue pro choice voter.  After that period ended I still voted D for another period of time, including for Hillary in the primary.  I’m now pretty much a Republican though I wouldn’t call myself MAGA but you probably would since I’ll be voting for Trump. Since I generally don’t talk politics and am pretty easygoing, if you and I met over coffee you’d probably think I was a good person and might even be friends. The majority of my friends, afterall, are Democrats. And yes, they know I’m voting for Trump. I’ve not been conditioned to fear a boogeyman and I clearly understand how this country is supposed to work. The fact that people like you continue to demonize and insult people like me is just really sad. [/quote]
