Some of your statements make no sense. Everyone wants to prevent illegal immigration. Only the GOP believe ripping babies from their mothers breast and using them as political chips is acceptable. The current GOP is militant anti-women, both in terms of control of their own bodies and in the workplace. And what is forced diversity?

I don't see a future for the national GOP. It is clear something funky went on with dark money, the NRA and Russia. The whole leadership has lost its mind in terms of doing its job in Congress as a check on the Executive Branch. But hey, you do you.

No one is saying we should allow illegal immigration.

I am religious and socially conservative, but feel people have the right to make their own decisions, so I am pro-choice and legalization of gay marriage.

I consider myself liberal in that sense, but I don't really believe in the Democratic party itself. However, I feel it is important to have a say in the primaries, so I registered.

Not to be nosy but who did you vote for if you are in MoCo?
