I appreciate you taking the time to type this all out. It sounds like you and I are more on the same page than you think. 

I think this applies to almost everyone here. Other than a couple minor differences, I'm with Rusty on 100% of what he wrote.

I agree. 

I am just lumped in with all of the Maga folks and it's clear I am not Maga, at least from my perspective.

It's clear to me you're not MAGA. Just be thankful you're not constantly being called a pedo.

I think the big difference is where we live. I live in hardcore Trump country, while you live in a very liberal place.

This doesn't really make that much of a difference in terms of how we are interpreted on the board, which is what I was speaking to.  

Maybe in Texas your views are seen as more liberal, and mine more conservative. But I am not sure that makes it okay to just lump me in with the obvious MAGAs here.

Can't blame her, really.

Because I really don't like being lumped in with a bunch of far leaning (right or left) people, I am not one of them. 

I know that Rusty is trolling most of the time, but once upon a time I thought he was a halfway decent dude. I do think he knows I am not Maga, as do a few others. They just choose to continue to troll.

I don't. I jokingly have a few times, but I don't seriously lump you in with them. What Trump is doing is so obviously bad and self-serving, I don't understand how anyone agrees with it. He has made the whole world worse, and the worst is yet to come.

Yeah, you’re a level headed centrist.

I'm a moderate conservative who is all for a strong military, states' rights, immigration reform, smaller government, gay marriage, anti-deficit, free speech and free trade. I believe we need tighter gun laws. I'd love a great rail system like they have in Europe. Social Security and Medicaid should be strengthened. There should be a long-term care option for Medicare, and I would be happy to pay a little more in taxes to have it.

I'm for fossil fuels (pipelines and all) as our primary energy source for now but also supportive of bringing along alternative energy sources such as wind, wave, solar, geothermal, methane and nuclear. A huge number of the governmental vehicles running around in my neck of the woods run on methane captured from the local dump.

I support vaccines, and if you don't want to take one, that's your choice as long as you respect those who do and don't generate anti-vax vitriole and spread misinformation and ridiculous conspiracy theories. The COVID vaccine saved millions of lives, although a small percentage of people (my son included) suffered side effects. The known needs of the many outweighed the unknown adverse health effects of the few. Polio has been eradicated, and measles should have been, too. Vaccines work. I'm all for funding scientific research for cancer, Alzheimer's, etc.

I'm moderately pro-choice as far as women's reproductive rights and have no issue with the awareness spotlight this month on the LGBTQ community, although biologically born boys have no business in women's sports. They can have their own category, although there wouldn't be many competitors, I reckon.

I support helping Ukraine fend off the evil and suffering that Putin has cast upon it. To not stand with Ukraine only emboldens regimes such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Americans whined about inflation and 401K losses after Russia invaded Ukraine and ignorantly blamed Biden. A Russian takeover would create more of that and cause all kinds of global instability. 

I support helping the poor, hungry, sick and illiterate in this country and worldwide. America should serve as a humanitarian example to the world, and we lose power and influence if, for example, China moves in to fill the void.

While a lot of this is similar to Trump's platform, the things he has done - stupid tariffs, the ransacking of the federal government, attacking free speech, the grossly unqualified nodding heads he put in his cabinet, the economic hardships he's creating (and we'll all feel soon), world chaos, souring relations with allies, humanitarian aid slashed (with food meant to feed millions rotting in warehouses), etc.- mixed with his arrogance, ego, empty promises, defiance of courts, sinful and criminal history, daily lunatic statements (Biden clone? Gimme a fukking break.) and ripping apart our Constitution have made him a lock for our worst president, and it's no longer even close.

The only president he could have topped was himself. This country one day at a time is heading toward a dictatorship. 

This country will reap what it has sewn for putting that dangerous asshat back in office.

 

So you are a conservative socialist*.  An interesting combination.

 

 

 

*Oh, I know some have attempted to attach substantial stink to the term socialist.  My using it is not intended to incorporate that stink or opprobrium.  I mean "small s" socialist.
