You have a weird way of assuming things and twisting things into a broad generalization in order to make yourself feel better. It's quite exhausting.
Most people in this country are very casual (at best) followers of politics. Myself included....up until 2016. Hence my "waking up" comment. Seeing the DNC railroad Bernie with a complicit MSM cog was mind blowing for me because it was the first time I ever paid attention. But worse, seeing how all of my "anti-HRC progressive" friends became easily gaslit into not only voting for her, but to also viscously defend her, really caused me to question everything. The more I read and the more I diversified my sources, the more obvious it became that things aren't as bad, or as good, as they seem. Trying to understand someone else's point of view (without automatically labeling them an ignorant, low life, racist...like some do) really helped me see that most Americans have the same goals, we just have fundamental differences in the ideas put forth to achieve said goals. And that's ok. We should be free to open and honest debate.
My "posting history" is lost at sea. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the site went through an overhaul and I'm pretty sure a ton of threads got lost or deleted. You can't possibly know how I feel about any topic because you never take the time to ask. You just assume, make accusations, etc. I've been posting on this board for a long time. Some of my thoughts and ideas have changed/adapted as I've continued to learn more and more. But overall, I'm still relatively in the center of most discussions. If my posts seem one-sided lately, it's likely due to the fact that I'm sick and tired of seeing DNC propaganda and being labeled a racist by friends and family for having the audacity to say things like "the DNC is corrupt." Shrug.
Lastly, once again, you've chosen to assume that because I don't incessantly pluck the low hanging fruit that is Trump, that I must be be in agreement. I just find it far more interesting to discuss why the Dem party has moved away from the values my parents and grandparents knew. My family were all Kennedy democrats. Working class, unions, etc. Now NONE of them feel represented by the Dem party. Why is that? So instead of blindly following the Dem party as we know it today, because of our religion, our loyalty to the founders ideas, and policy positions (some of which are still Dem, others not), we've found ourselves more in line with the American Solidarity Party, which is as Christian democratic party. Their candidate has been written in on all of my ballots for going on three elections now. But please continue to tell me that I hate Dem policies and that RFK is my savior and I love Trump.
