I didn't exactly say it, I just said I don't agree with your political stance and that I'm not a democrat. But still. It's good to be called a liberal by Trumpers. I get it all the time.

Funny you bring this subject up, because I have been thinking about exactly this subject for the past week. I do not understand how or why these trappers reconcile this obvious contradiction in their heads. Maybe they don't reconcile the obvious contradiction, and they just go about their business like a chameleon. It is strange, unsettling, sometimes infuriating. And watch out when they get any kind of power in any of the related associations.

Personally, I can't fathom anybody on here being OK with telling others on here how they need to think and act to fit in. Seems un-American.

A good example of bad logic.

A more logical, better-reasoned approach would be to recognize that both men deserve to be the targets of rocks.

People have principles, often grounded in Biblical and constitutional values, and their decisions and actions flow from those principles. When they see behavior and thinking that does not flow from those principles, or even from any principles, they engage in their First Amendment right to have a discussion. I am unafraid to have any discussion with anyone about politics, religion etc because my principles are the same as America's founding principles. I am amazed at how every single liberal/leftist/communist/ Stalinist/ fascist I know cannot bring themselves to have any kind of a discussion about anything except the Steelers-Eagles game. It is as if they have no confidence in their own ideas, no principles, and do not want to hear any information contrary to what they want to think. This is a quintessentially American discussion, because America is a constitutional republic that requires We, The People to stay engaged all the time. Or, if we disengage, and hide from debate, we will lose the country.

Fascinating. Biden is a traitor with deposited checks directly from China, whose business is selling himself and inside information to our worst enemies. Trump? What did he do wrong? Really?

It's a contradiction only if you persist in seeing the world as black or white.

Me, I see shades of gray, and even other colors sometimes.

But no, as I've said before, I am not a Democrat. Some of my views are liberal though, which I'm not ashamed of. I reserve the right--as I assume you all do--to vote for the candidate who comes closest to my own views and interests, overall.


Jim

My apologies for implying that you're a Democrat. I was under the impression that that's how you voted in the past. I try not to use that slur unless I'm pretty sure of it.

He is.

sometimes, the world really IS black and white.

if you see it as green when it is white (or black), your thinking is incorrect.

James has a point. While Trump is clearly a better choice than biden, let's not pretend that Trump is some moral giant.

Trump is not a traitor. I would not want to be married to him, although I was mighty impressed a guy his age was being ...entertained ... by Rusty Nails or whatever her stage name was. Trump is now a martyr, and for tens of millions of us Americans, it's either Trump 2024 or the entire republic is gone without any chance of resuscitating it.

I'm not voting for him to be my best friend.

I'm voting for him for 2 main reasons:

1. I agree with most of his policies (although he spends too much money, too)
B. he truly DOES love America and he fights for it; doesn't try to "fundamentally change" it.

I am neither Republican nor Democrat. Neither leading candidate is of good moral character. I dislike both. But our country cannot withstand four more years of Biden. I'll vote for anyone but him.

So, care to list any Republicans you have voted for in the past? For Federal office?
