[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a boomer or uneducated. I have two degrees. I am actually more against the Democratic Party than MAGA. Many people of varying backgrounds all over this country are horrified by the Democratic agenda of socialism, open borders, DEI, and transgender ideology. Democrats lost the most recent election due to their own poor policies and extremism. The sad thing is that they live inside their liberal bubble and are incapable of any self-reflection. They would rather attack voters for not choosing them than change their unpopular agenda. [/quote]

What do you consider socialism?[/quote]

Build Back Better was socialism. Thankfully, due to Joe Manchin, it did not pass, but Democrats were still able to pass another bill full of government subsidies and reckless spending. [/quote]

Socialism like Medicare, Social Security, the military, federal roads, etc? You're against all that?[/quote]Very few people, even Republicans, believe we don't need taxes to pay for the common good (everything you mentioned).  However, the difference between conservatives and progressives is how much more we spend on give-aways that aren't for the common good like welfare which is wealth redistribution which is socialist.  As a liberal Democrat, I'm not against welfare.  But I am against abuses of the system which seems quite broken.[/quote]

New poster to this thread.  I am in favor of a social safety net, and am in favor of going after those who abuse the system but frankly what we now have going on right now with the oligarch class abusing our system to the tune of hundreds of billions, their plans for destroying our middle class and dismantling 50 years of progress on protections for workers, for the environment, for civil rights and everything else while literally buying Presidents with no real aim other than further enriching themselves, is far worse than anything else.

And I do think the MAGAs here fall into several categories.  Some are very likely boomers as the OP suggested, who take everything they have for granted while wanting to pull the ladder up behind themselves,  but others are redpilled young males who are completely indoctrinated and clueless to reality (especially the DCUM MAGAs who post glib one-liners not understanding their ass is completely flapping in the breeze), while others are deranged one-issue wonders, like the recurring "men in female sports" histrionics poster,  and I wouldn't be surprised if there are one or two posters here who are financially invested, their job in the DMV is in working for the right wing in some capacity or another, whether lobbying or otherwise.  And yes, some of them don't sound very bright, and there is at least one or two who do a lot of arrogant, condescending posts attempting to gaslight us thinking they are much smarter than they actually are.  For sure, there are some prolific MAGA posters who are VERY recognizable based on their style.[/quote]We desperately need a 3rd party who stands up for the middle class.  Because you're right when you say that Republicans are for the rich.  And the Dems are for...well...who knows? They abandoned the working class in favor of "the most marginalized."  As for men in women's sports, I use that one a lot because it represents a whole cadre of woke insanity: defund the police, teaching CRT, open borders, etc. because it's the craziest of them all.[/quote]
