    It's kind of weird how many posts are ghosted on my feed here, lol.  This place is nearly dead for me and I only ignore a couple of the several people who post here.  It's like an AMT coup d'état or something.  Maybe I should just leave and come back in November when 45 and cat-women hater have had their asses kicked. 

    No, please stay, Brian. If dialogue is shut down because it's drowned out by trolls and sh!tposting, well, what if that's the goal?? [Or, you could join the pro-democracy crown at The Bulwark; we've built a great community there!]

    OK, but only because you asked!  :smile:
    I'm not going to accuse anyone specifically here about wanting to shut things down.  In fact, it's such a full time thing, I'm guessing it a job?  I wonder what the pay is?  I may be old and mostly retired, but I could use a little more than my modest income.  Maybe I should apply for any open position?  :lol:

    I think the biggest takeaway about conservativism these past few weeks is how weird most of the positions are.

    Biden started those 2 wars? Doesn't sound a bit delusional?

    Otherwise you can create a chart with exactly the same bullet points or very similar when maga was president 

    So you hanging with JD or hanging JD?
    Putin invaded Crimea under Obama
    Putin invaded no one under Trump
    Putin invaded Ukraine under Biden and is still there

    Hamas attacked Israel under Biden, Israel retaliated and is still at war 9 months later. 

    US tax dollars are funding both Ukraine and Israel.

    A strong President would have ended this diplomatically. I’m not saying Trump would be able to end this, but we know Biden can’t 100%. He can’t even negotiate to get all the American hostages out of Gaza. Terrible leadership. 
    Good thing he isn’t running for re-election then

    Something I’ve never understood; this unmitigated hatred towards all liberals/the left. The left was at fitst confused by cult 45 (later figuring out the reason), but there’s no singular generalized hatred towards republicans/conservatives as a whole that comes anywhere close to the same. Show us on the chart where liberals hurt you snowflakes so badly to generate such irrational hatred.

    It really comes down to brain rot that Reaganism and its fall out has foisted on the populous. That the individual is number one and empathy is fine in a general sense, but living empathy (whether is misguided policy wise or not) is an incorrect way to live. The media apparatus for conservatives have driving this home over the past 25 years and have broke brains.

    Part of it is the total buy in to the idea that owning libs is the most important thing one can do. Way more important than doing anything that might make life for ALL Americans better.

    Well, yes, the basic tenet of “the American dream” is all about individual achievement at any cost. Which, to a centrist Canadian, seems incredibly selfish. So MAGA is that on steroids. But the hatred still confuses me. I guess they feel like we’re trying to steal their money, when they’re largely too fucking stupid to realize it’s the POS they vote for that are doing that, unless you belong to the 1%. 

    At least when liberals tax you, it benefits you. When conservatives tax you, it’s to make the rich even richer. This is not debatable or opinion. And they keep voting for these thieves.

    To the people in the middle it’s very obvious. There’s 30% far left, there’s 30% far right. They all think they are 100% correct about everything. They are the same. 

    One thing in common for them is Trump. He controls every aspect of their days and lives. Just go look at these threads! How much time do these people have on their hands? Find a hobby! Whether they love or hate Trump, in every topic they find a way to blame him or herald him as a God. It’s sickness. And they all deny it. 

    You can’t discuss a policy or event about Biden or Harris here without 4-5 radicals jumping in about what Trump did or would or wouldn’t do. Likewise you can’t talk to a far right Republican without them somehow interjecting how Trump is the savior of our country. 

    It’s all entertainment for me. If people are using the ignore (which I guarantee they are not) because they can’t handle a differing opinion then hats off to
    me.

    Except you have the far right passing widespread legislation. You don’t have that on the left, probably because the republican party is far right.

    That’s because you are in the 30% of far left. You just proved my point. You think you’re unequivocally correct. That’s why to the people in the middle we will always think you’re the same.

    Also, the obvious point that there is an ongoing choice between the two means it is difficult to discuss one without looking at the contrasting position.

    I mean, I read that 30% of the people who say they are the middle are the far right in disguise.

    Also, the obvious point that there is an ongoing choice between the two means it is difficult to discuss one without looking at the contrasting position.

    I mean, I read that 30% of the people who say they are the middle are the far right in disguise.

    It seems that way because you can’t tolerate any difference of your beliefs and opinion. Your defense mechanism is to accuse someone of being MAGA/far right, if they differ from you. That’s perfectly fine. 

    There’s a thread of “Friends/Family who are Trump Supporters”. There’s people who have stated they won’t talk or associate and lost friendships because of a political view. Why? Blows my mind that someone couldn’t handle it. But that’s what happens when Trump controls your life as a liberal I guess.

    No, please stay, Brian. If dialogue is shut down because it's drowned out by trolls and sh!tposting, well, what if that's the goal?? [Or, you could join the pro-democracy crown at The Bulwark; we've built a great community there!]
    Sounds like a wonderful “safe space”. Bran would be welcomed with open arms and a pink princess parade!
    Something I’ve never understood; this unmitigated hatred towards all liberals/the left. The left was at fitst confused by cult 45 (later figuring out the reason), but there’s no singular generalized hatred towards republicans/conservatives as a whole that comes anywhere close to the same. Show us on the chart where liberals hurt you snowflakes so badly to generate such irrational hatred. 
    To the people in the middle it’s very obvious. There’s 30% far left, there’s 30% far right. They all think they are 100% correct about everything. They are the same. 

    One thing in common for them is Trump. He controls every aspect of their days and lives. Just go look at these threads! How much time do these people have on their hands? Find a hobby! Whether they love or hate Trump, in every topic they find a way to blame him or herald him as a God. It’s sickness. And they all deny it. 

    You can’t discuss a policy or event about Biden or Harris here without 4-5 radicals jumping in about what Trump did or would or wouldn’t do. Likewise you can’t talk to a far right Republican without them somehow interjecting how Trump is the savior of our country. 

    It’s all entertainment for me. If people are using the ignore (which I guarantee they are not) because they can’t handle a differing opinion then hats off to
    me.

    I wouldn't know.  I do have friends who voted and will vote for Trump.  I think that voting for your wallet is different than the way I go.  That is their choice, obviously.
    Nobody I consider a friend actually likes Donny.  Nobody.  The guy is a horrid human.  
    The family members who are Trumpers are people I disliked long before Trump.  They suck.  They aren't voting with their wallets, they are voting with their hate.
    Sad people.
    (I still don't like them.)

    Can’t imagine why people wouldn’t want to associate with people with political brain rot so severe that they take the tails and apply it to the median with a broad brush

    That’s because you are in the 30% of far left. You just proved my point. You think you’re unequivocally correct. That’s why to the people in the middle we will always think you’re the same.
    When self identified people in the middle obsessively cling to bothsideism, they’re using the same logical fallacies they claim are the problem with the right and the left.

    Let’s be honest. The Republicans could dump Trump and replace him with Eddie Vedder and you’re still not voting for him.

    Do you think these things through before hitting post? 

    The logic of that makes no sense.

    Is someone actually trying to claim that being pro-democracy is a trait of the "far left"? We have an authoritarian trying to position themself as a centrist? Really?
    No. Nope. I'm not buying it. I'm not far left (TBH "The Squad" makes me cringe.) I'm not even moderately left. I voted Libertarian until 2008. I'm pro gun rights (I'm from hunting culture, I don't think anyone needs an AR), pro balanced budget, pro small government. And I'm a big, big fan of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (yes, including the Second Amendment) in particular. I'm a firm believer that what consenting adults do together is their own business, not mine, not yours, not the government's. I don't believe there's room for ANY of you gentlemen in the exam room when I'm talking to my doctor. I think drag queens are fun, not scary.
    I'm an actual centrist. People in the middle, in general, want the government to handle defense and responsible spending and otherwise leave us the f--- alone and make our own decisions.
    And, to be honest, I'm too busy dealing with the sh!tshow that is our lives right now to get all wrapped around an axle about how other people are living their lives. Where do people find the time and energy to get worked up about who other folks are sleeping with, how they dress, what they eat? I can barely remember what month it is.
    If you still think the 45th POTUS is the best option after all the myriad issues of his administration and after, most of all, he tried to overturn election results and remain in power through force and violence, thereby disenfranchising tens of millions of people, you are not "in the middle" of the political spectrum. That's just not a thing -- that's not how any of this works.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
