Don't like labels. I do like Common sense and constitutional adherence. Hard core patriots. Hard work and the rewards that come from it. Disdain for dishonest people and contempt for illegitimate tinhorn dictators and their minions. FREEDOM!

 

[beautress]

Is this your coming out thread?

He's mentioned it before. But he's one a little to the left that I like and orientation doesn't bother me all that much although I think they picked a very hard life to live.

Leftists think they are a tiny minority here. I think we're evenly split.

I don't want to hear "moderate" (mac1958). Everyone leans right or left. Which way do you lean?

So everyone must be an extremist? Nonsense.

 

[beautress]

I'm a conservative but I think our country has taken a devastating turn with this rigged election business and three trillion for this and three trillion for that by the most corrupt House Speaker who ever demanded air force rides for herself and friends at taxpayer expense. I'm glad I live in Texas and that killing people before they are born is poisonous politics and a black eye for the Supreme Court who forced it through without realizing their decision would kill more human beings than Hitler killed Jewish people in WWII. No more of that shit here. This nation allowed women to kill 70 million future Americans. I 'm glad it's over.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

I despise corporations and distrust and despise the Federal government......................

LOL

For the left: WE HATE EVIL CORPORATIONS.. unless they help us censor and punish the right. APPLE! GOOGLE! TWITTER! FACEBOOK! YOUTUBE! WE LOVE YOU!

This is why Trumpism is losing the middle. They alienate anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do. You can't even be a moderate in this poll, what is someone who doesn't identify as left or right supposed to think?

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Before 2016, I was independent. Between 2016 & 2019 turned right but since 2020 and a slow turn and am now more apolitical. I think they're all a bunch of baffoons

I hope youre not implying republicans are right wing??

they are leftwing,, just not as far left as democrats,,

 

[toobfreak]

I'm seeing most leftists are afraid to identify as leftists. I really hadn't anticipated that

You shot yourself in the balls on that one DA, when you told them they thought they were in a tiny minority and you wanted to prove otherwise!

They don't want to give up that victim card by admitting they are well represented! They want that illusion-lie that they have no voice here being shouted down by a conservative majority!

THAT'S THE VICTIM CARD! Doing so allows them to weight their opinions more heavily in their favor by supposed under-representation! (By justifying their offsetting the forum's "GOP bias")

Oh and you think the Democrats are GAINING the middle and not also alienating anyone who doesn't think just like them???

 

[toobfreak]

Unapologetic SUPER hardcore white nationalist righty checking in.

SO! A Bob Dole man, eh?

Some liberals do that and they should be called out. However I'm specifically referring to the Trump Republicans who think everyone is a RINO if they so much as sneeze in fatty's direction or anyone who doesn't believe the big lie (which is most of the country). You guys are losing it. You had a pretty decent shot at taking out the governor of California if the Republicans who run the asylum could just muster up a candidate that was actually likeable. But instead you fuckos are going to whine more about voter fraud because you're a bunch of social misfits who don't get along well with others.

I believe a private economy is generally a good thing, because it creates wealth. But it also causes a massive inequality of wealth distribution, so I think free markets should be balanced with a solid social safety net and some wealth redistribution. Otherwise, society will fall apart. I don't mind when some people are ridiculously richer than others, as long as the basic needs of even the poor are covered. Guess most people would call that "left".

When it comes to "modern left" topics, such as "woke" matters of race, gender and so on, I guess I'm "libertarian": I'm all in favor of ending legal discrimination and believe everybody should question his or her prejudices. However, I'm not a big fan of theories and identity constructions that reduce people to their gender or skin color, no matter if they're from the right or the left.

On ecological matters, I do think global climate change is a big problem, an increasingly urgent one and needs addressing. I'm in favor of shifting to renewable energies. Guess that means I'm "sane", because if we don't manage to do that for economic reasons, there won't even be an economy worth mentioning anymore sooner or later ... but righties will probably call that "left".

I'm a big fan of constitutional government, fair and free elections and an independent legal system. I believe in the ideals of liberal republicanism and democratic elections, in free, open societies with protection of human rights. Not sure where that falls on the spectrum ... both far-right and far-left reject these values, so maybe that means I'm in the "center".

On foreign policy, I support also military cooperation between Western nations which share these values of freedom, democracy and human rights, and am in favor of a strong defense against tyrannies which are a threat to these values. I'm in favor of NATO and EU and believe they should do more to defend against attacks by tyrannies such as Russia and China. Not sure which side on the spectrum that is ... until recently, Republicans stood for these ideas, but since Trump was elected, the Republicans flushed these values down the toilet and teamed up with disgusting tyrants such as Russia's Putin, and attacked former allies.

You're "right"

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

But he appeals to most all segments of the GOP, except for a small handful of globalist never-Trumpers.

Not all Republicans are "right." The Swamp Republicans are big government Progressives

Funny, I've never used that word to describe myself. Never. Not once. But it's amusing to watch you folks actually believe I have.

Happy to educate you. I suspect it will not stick.

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

It's sad that all the loud and active regular posters are afraid to call themselves leftists here.

I can post them and it would bring the numbers in balance, PROVING MY POINT that we are equally balanced. But it seems they won't do it themselves

One of the cowardly leftists here who has always been afraid to say so

I know. In your little world, anyone to the left is you is a commie.

I just happily posted my position, and I would have answered a direct question, if you had ever had the balls to just ask.

Wow. I'm really in your heads.
