I'm your opinion, based on modern times, what is the technical differences between a republican and a leftist? Is it based on policy or tribalism?

[Mark Richard]

Do the majority of people vote based on party or character? What specific policies turned you on to one, and what policies turned you off from another?

It does not matter what you typed. There is something else in control of us all.

Before 1998 the difference was clear.

The republicans were mostly conservatives who supported

Fiscal conservatism
Patriotism to America
Small accountable government
Right to privacy
Balanced budgets


Since Fox News and W, the GOP mutated into just the opposite (replace America with Israel)

Clearly most people tend to favor one party or the other. I just wanted to point out that the democrats are not leftist except in relative terms. The DNC is a center-right party. They just aren't as far right as the GOP.

Many wealthy are Republicans because of the lucrative tax breaks that trump gave them. Money talks.

trump also crippled the IRS so that the IRS can't collect taxes from rich people.

That's one group.

Then you have the audience of the former Rush Limbaugh.

These were lonely people who found a friend in the former Rush Limbaugh on AM radio.

Most of the audience were Democrats because they didn't have a lot of money, but over time the former Rush Limbaugh groomed them into Republicans. Poor Republicans.

trump has copied the former Rush Limbaugh's strategy and has taken over the audience.

About 25 more IQ points for the "leftist" on average.

Why do you ask?

I know the abortion issue is one of the driving issues for me.

Those right wing nuts think that God wants to protect the glob of cells in a woman's womb believing it is a living human being. I mean really, believe in God? How stupid can you get?

After all, science, and the FDA and CDC, shows us that it is the Birth Fairy that waves her magic wand over the unliving glob of tissues once it exits the womb of a woman that is what magically turns the glob into a living human being

Those in power become the authoritarian.

Power corrupts, and the more power you have the more corrupt you become.

It's not rocket science.

The DNC runs pretty much everything now.

You are either a religious zealot, vulture capitalist, bigot, fascist asshole

No, other have let them. The Constitution has been subverted over the years giving the Federal government far too much power.

Now anyone who puts on that ring of power is subject to it's powers of corruption.

subverted doesnt mean its null and void,,,
but it does show how weak the people are and more so the drones that vote for them,,,

I'm not one of them

Early on in life I was kind of a liberal in my thinking. My Mom was a huge JFK supporter, and my teachings in life were largely from a liberal point of view...Nothing wrong with that if we are talking traditional libs...As I grew up, had a family of my own, and realized that no one "owed me anything", and the election of Reagan, as I started to pull myself up by my own bootstraps so to speak, I realized that Conservatism was really the party of freedom, and liberalism were largely people who never grew up...

In today's world it's even worse, liberals have allowed themselves to be swayed by kind of a fascistic socialistic view of how things should be, and it will destroy this great country if you ask me.

But you are little goody two shoes. You are the worst. For you are the social justice sufferers who get to make excuses. Many excuses.

Todays ‘Republicans’ are voting to preserve and protect American virtues…our sovereignty, our institutions, our history, traditions, principle and value systems, and the the American Way whereas Democrats are voting to shred it all at its core.

..I do not HONOR criminals/illegals/etc ...I am pro law and order.......the left is opposite of that = idiots

 

[initforme]

The fringes of both parties make all the noise. They run around screaming about this or that. It's so all over it's tiresome. Apathy is growing at a rapid pace. People just ignore most all of it.

Very simple...
Conservatism favors individual responsibility over collective.
Liberalism favors collective responsibility over individual.

One places the responsibility of one's well being on your own actions.
The other wants to believe problem people are a burden of society, not themselves.
