SLAG-91 1,483 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There is some Venn diagram overlap of outlook that I share with Bill, and this is one of those areas. Distinguishing more clearly between liberal and leftist is something that absolutely needs to happen more. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 16,761 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 hell i just want honesty and anyone that reps the people. right now we have bipartisan politics and politicians who worry too much about party instead of the country. and these people are now getting rich while our country is going down the tubes. everyone says i hate trump and maybe i do but i have never wished he would die or anything. and we allow it to happen on both sides and it hurts this country. i am so sick of it. nancy made it law to wear masks again in chambers and yet she took a mask off for a few minutes for a photo op. and then we have folks claiming we should have freedom to chose to wear them or not. sometimes we throw freedom this and that out there and i often think it belittles those who stood up against the japanese and the nazi's.. freedom comes most of the time with great sacrifice and we cannot all get on board to save a life or two. that probably makes little sense. but if i ever made someone sick or killed them by not following the guidelines it would absolutely crush me. i harp on trump and his supporters because so many are looney tunes they honestly frighten me. dems do not frighten me but they need a good ass kicking as well. and to be honest the way the right is handling the sixth breaks my heart. it emboldens the next bunch of idiots to maybe try to push further. i wish i was smart enough to know how to get all this mess straight again. the right has basically secret marching orders to diss or denie anything the dems try to do even if it is a positive thing and makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often people try to force others into their preconceived boxes. It confuses a lot being able to hold views across the spectrum I agree if you are making a distinction between traditional conservatives and Trumpers, but it's clear from polling data that most Republicans - which may or may not include traditional conservatives - support Trump. Hell, a large percentage of them believe his "fraudulent election" lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
