I've always been moderately Liberal, but recently due to all the poisonous rhetoric from the Right I've found myself taking some positions that are more Left then I actually am.
No one gets to do that anymore, I know who I am, just because someone is to the Right of George Wallace doesn't mean that my reaction has to put me Left of Jane Fonda in 1968. I wonder if that's what has Conservatives on the verge of 1939 fascism, they're just reacting to what someone tells them about people like me without actually knowing what people like me really think. I mean according to Fox people like me sacrifice aborted fetuses to gain favor with Satan to help us in our war against Christmas.
That's part of why I like the Left, they don't make up paranoid delusions about some vast conspiracy on the Right to kill off most of the population like the Right did about FEMA internment camps during the Obama administration. Like just because we don't condone immoral actions like taking small children from their refuge parents doesn't mean we want to import the entire population of Mexico up to the States to help us kill off all the police, which seems to be the charge from the Right.
As for American jobs that everyone likes so much on both sides of the aisle, we're now in a trade war, there's a very good chance most of us will not be gainfully employed within two months. I mean, what do arch conservative Harry Davidson riders like the Hells Angels have to say about it, considering that Milwaukee has to give them up to Thailand... Thailand!
Seriously I can understand where Conservatives are coming from, I'm just mystified why they support people that are guaranteed to deliver the exact opposite of what they want. I'm sure that there's plenty of conspiracies that explain how the Democrats are causing these negative effects, but how long can this administration keep pissing on you like this then telling you that it's raining and you continue to believe it.
The more right positions tend to be pro business which means deregulation increasing pollution of the air water and food, so voting more left is actually more self preservation, while the right hastens the end of the planet.
The criminals currently running Washington will continue with piss news until we remove them from power with our votes. They are greedy assholes who will destroy the world to feed their greed. They use people who have greater fear, which cat scans show have enlarged amygdala and are usually conservatives. The criminals have no political position, except greed.
Same here. I've been so repulsed by the actions and rhetoric of the right that I've found myself moving farther and farther left of center as time goes by.
Up through the Obama Administration, I always landed in the moderate Republican spectrum when ever I would take one of those tests designed to determine where you stand politically.
The behavior of Trump and his scumbag followers has left me so disgusted and has churned my stomach so thoroughly that I'm practically a socialist these days. I frequently find myself supporting positions I never would have just two years ago.
