Subject: How can you tell if someone is conservative?
I wonder how satisfying it is for foreign countries/entities that are anti US to see it implode from within. It seems like the schism is too great. Just look at this thread. We need more than a 2 party system.

I know some good devout Christian people that have made money a false God.
I could say the exact same for the liberal elite.
Yea but they don’t care if you say it.
The point being Potomac is not Takoma Park…. Of course they voted trump. It’s the least diverse wealthy white area in the most diverse county… it’s self segregation… I’m actually surprised Potomac is 50/50 seems like Trump town to me.
Two thirds of Potomac voted for Biden. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html

Men of course, the center of conservative policy. Look at PP acting like it's just chance that she has a tendency to look attractive to men

Yup. Trumphumpers are POS liars. No surprise here.
Actually, what you are hearing here is that liberals have become so intolerant of other views that tipping one’s hand to a conservative viewpoint could cost a job, play dates, whatever. The new mcarthyism. Agree with me or you’ll be labeled a racist and lose everything.
This ^. There is a strange and scary intolerance going around where any legitimate policy disagreement is called racism, etc.
Which specific “policy”?
A real one? Or one manufactured by politicians?
Moderate Dem here (and NP.)
Just a few legitimate policy discussions that often get attacked unfairly as racism:
Immigration reform
Various facets of advanced academics
Student loan forgiveness

When I was in college 20 years ago, I went to both the College Democrats and College Republicans meetings for a while.
The College Republican women were uniformly tall, thin and blond and very good looking.
The College Republican men were uniformly golfers.
The College Republicans had a segment of incredibly brilliant intellectually conservative thinkers who seemed bemused by the rest of us. For all practical purposes they existed on a different milieu than the rest of us. I found them the most intellectually honest and insightful people of all.
The College Democrats were more diverse, yes, and more unkempt and wilder and incoherent at times.
I found both groups entertaining.

The rest is how they think we should all get there. And yes, each side claims the other side is harmful and damaging. But if you try to keep an open mind and actually listen to the "whys" of people's arguments, you'll find that the best solutions take both sides into account. We haven't done much of that in the past 20 years; I get it. And that's why we are all a mess.
Please start listening to people with different view points. Not the catch phrases everyone repeats, but why those catch phrases matter to people.
Yeeeaaaa.NO.
My BIL thinks kids are being sold in the basement of a pizza parlor in DC.
My uncle thinks the “libs” paid a company to change votes.
My friends H believes Obama is an agent for a foreign country.
My friend thinks the Democrats are going to seize all small businesses and have the govt run them.
Yea…. So NO
So…. NO
Don't ask about politicians. Ask about policies.
Do you think partisans should be able to overthrow election results without any evidence?

Worse. A trumper.
The left is trying to fire/ruin anyone with any different view. It’s no wonder people feel the need to hide. I have voted Democrat until recently but will vote Youngkin for governor. I’ve HAD IT with the liberal intolerance. If I don’t want to put she/her on my email, it means I’m a thoughtful person with a different reasonable opinion. I’m tired of any tiny refusal to tow an increasingly nutty line being labeled “trumper” or “racist”. I’m not going to express these thoughts anywhere but at the ballot box. That’s the beauty of democracy!
Wrong. It’s not a “different view”. It choosing a different reality. Believing The Big Lie or whatever other lies the GOP tries to dish out - without question.
Wow. So tone deaf. Posters have been trying to explain to you that they don't watch Fox News or read Brietbart, they don't consider themselves Republican but vote for them. They don't buy into whatever lies you are talking about. They don't agree with identity politics, virtue signaling, open borders, etc. Please try to understand their point of view.
In the end, it’s the vote that matters. So if you are voting for someone pushing The Big Lie (or any of the other lies), then you are effectively saying those lies are acceptable. You choose The Big Lie.
That is why people have an issue.

When policies are racist they should be called racist.
