I'm particularly interested in the COVID-19 situation, in order to share what I've been learning and to learn from others. I intend to be very civil and never engage in personal attacks. Thanks for having me.
    Welcome to the forum. Centrists are in short supply around here and civility is appreciated.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    LOL, is that so? Anyway, I like to think that my position is a bit nuanced... there are many things I don't like in Trump but there are a few I do appreciate, such as standing up to China. I consider China to be a geopolitical enemy that sooner or later will try to undermine our country. Nothing against the Chinese people, but rather, I'm not impressed with the Chinese government... I believe them to be expansionists and a threat to region, and later to the world, so I cheer Trump up when he counters them.

    Thanks. So what's the proportion here, as far as progressives, moderates, and conservatives?
