This is a good point. There are conservative viewpoints I find compelling, but they have basically nothing in common with MAGA, de santis, or any other popular conservative these days.

I find I can talk with individuals, when we both view the other as individuals, instead of a representative of republicans or whatever other moniker you give them. I mean, not everyone, but at least most people.

One issue is that it sometimes gets hard to discuss something like “lower taxes for businesses” because some people will assume you want to murder all gay people and others come along who actually do want to do that and think they are on you’re side…

When positions are too simplifed into left vs right and all your other positions are assumed to be in line with the left vs. right debate there will never be any real discussion.

Despite the fact that student loans are completely f’d and something needs to be done ab out this, I think this is the riht call. The HEROS act was not meant to be used like this.

Congress needs to do this, not the president…

The idea of freedom of religion but not enforcing your religion in others seems painfully obvious.

That seems extreme…
