I have plenty of friends who were Republicans when I met them.

But they don’t support evil and unconstitutional acts, so they don’t support Trump.

It says something about you as a person to support Trump


Please list every unconstitutional act and the article they violate


They've been going to court to get Article II, Section 1, clauses 2 and 3 ignored and now that they've failed you have presidential advisors pushing for Marshall law


“Marshall Law” LOL

Correct. I will never, ever, ever be friends with anyone who has such terrible, hatred-fueled, un-American values as to STILL claim to be a Republican. Those people are lower than low.

In my America, people are equal, freedom means decent healthcare and a social safety net, we are a country built on immigrants, and both Jesus and Teddy Roosevelt hated billionaires— and would detest the grasping oligarchs that run today’s GOP.

Move to a nice red area — or to Somalia — if you want to destroy government enough that you’re a Republican. If you’re a Christian, you’re going to hell (read about wealthy people in the Bible) and I’ll do everything I can to make sure you pay a price on Earth for your hate too.


I agree with a lot of your positions here, but I have to point out that most Republicans are nowhere near rich. In fact, I’ve seen surveys showing average income for Democrats is higher than that for Republicans.

I’ve started listening to commentary magazine podcast. Really smart people who give me some hope that I’m not totally alone.


lol you were never a true democrat. These are just convenient excuses.


True Democrat doesn't mean taking one for the team since 1999-year the bonds were paid off on the Reston community center construction fronted by Fairfax County. Find any other special tax districts besides the one in Mclean for the same purpose?

Yes, I am an (R) in Reston. And I'm aware of one other (R) but she just moved out of Reston and to another state.

What were you drinking when you wrote this?


Sorry, but Republicans really are trying to destroy the country. Quite literally. Secession, relentlessly cutting government programs while spending like crazy, actively destroying the environment and public lands, starting multiple simultaneous wars in Asia, arming the entire population and telling them liberals and media are the enemy... and that's all even before the Trump presidency.

In addition to McLean, there are also a lot of Republicans in Alexandria. Perhaps you would feel more comfortable there.

But OP the DC metro area is like every other major city in the US - Democratic leaning. If you don't feel comfortable in these environments, then I suggest that you relocate to a more rural area. There are plenty around 1 hour driving distance from DC.

Good lord. You sound like a perfect target for the Republican propaganda.


Progressives should not listen to Commentary's podcast.

It might help them understand conservative views that are unrelated to Trump and alleged racism, and might confuse their world view of a conservative.

I'd love to hear about an equivalent podcast for progressives that explain their politics without all the platitudes and actually talks political policies and the anticipated results, rather than bumper sticker slogans and virtue signaling.



I loved the “really smart” comment followed by “WSJ’s ....”

Commentary seems to be largely independent (though I’d be happy to do a takedown of Podhoretz’s idiocy sometime.)
But all you conservatives realize that Murdoch subsidizes the WSJ heavily for his own political purposes, yes?

To be more direct: Murdoch is paying mediocrities who aren’t smart enough to get real jobs, but happen to have an ideology he likes.
There’s a reason why simpleminded Kim Strassel still has a job there.
And you think it’s

I really liked Reston when we lived there. We lived in a small TH near North Point. Great place with young kids.


Go to South Reston. Not so nice.


I work in South Reston. Yes, I get that some of the older and lower income neighborhoods are there, but it’s still a decent place to live.
