To The Liberals

[Mini Me]

liberals don't own anything. They steal from everyone else, including themselves
Now you've leading me to think that all liberals are dangerous to the existence of America
meh...............fricking Tories

That's just plain nutz!

The conservative members argue with one another quite often. One rarely sees this among our progressives. You would "go blind" looking for those discussions.

Arguing about whether Trump is a really great President or the greatest President ever doesn't count.

Fox News means nothing to me.

I tend to think of anyone to the left of me as a liberal. But that would mean just about anyone, so I have to take it back some.

My only political hero is Patrick Buchanan. I also like Rush Limbaugh, and he is good, but no one compares to Patrick Buchanan and Perianne (we are the same).

Pat Buchanan is a great man.

Snark is only effective and funny when it has an element of truth. Again, the conservatives here disagree with one another quite often. We rarely see this among progressives. For example, when was the last time you had a disagreement with Dr. Who?

I know...............your feeble attempts for wresting control of my vote is insane.

I don't perceive the term moderate as meaning dispassionate. To me it just means holding a combination of views that fail to cleanly land you in the progressive or conservative columns. Since I'm being systematically excluded from progressive circles, I feel that the most appropriate term for someone like me at this point would be 'left-leaning moderate' or 'moderately left wing', something like that.

As I mentioned before, I don't perceive myself as being on a journey rightward per se, although I do listen to conservative-minded people more often today than I traditionally have, admittedly. However, you may be right, Perianne, about me currently being where the Republican Party lands in another 25 years, possibly, as I have seen those polls indicating that younger Republicans are leaning more to the left than their elders on questions of economic policy. I've seen those polls indicating that more than 40% of Republicans under the age of 30 support policy ideas like Medicare for all, a $15/hour minimum wage, and some aspects of the Green New Deal, for instance, are more open to gay rights and such, yeah. Maybe that trajectory will continue in the future, who knows? Or it could just be a momentary phenomenon. As things presently stand though, there remains a tremendous distance between where I am and where the GOP is on most issues, be they issues of economic policy, social policy, or foreign policy. The party has changed a lot in the last quarter-century though, I'd say. However, I wouldn't say it's been in what I see as a positive way. (For example, I've never had less respect for the party's foreign policy views, which I'd characterize as currently downright anti-Western.) They just flat need a new generation of leaders first and foremost, I think. And fewer Confederate flags and Q'Anon type loons.

and we can do without your side burning, looting, and killing...............talk about loons.
Where're you going to shop now that you've burned down your neighborhoods? Where you going to work because those jobs you walked away from, then burned them down?
Then you declare these people to pure and agelessly perfect....................There is a piece of your brain that is on strike

Interesting how labels are so important
