Is this message board always so short on liberals?

[initforme]

I will would never, ever go across the street to attend a political event for any politician regardless of party. That you can take to the bank.

I think you might have more conservatives speaking out against Trump, if not for the fact that so much of the negative information we hear from the media about about Trump turns out to either be lies or personal attacks that have nothing to do with how he governs.

For example, if you were to explain how Trump's efforts to secure the border are worse for the American people than Biden's open-border policy, you might get some conservatives to side with you on that, if your explanation makes sense and is truly about making things better for the American people.

When you (your media) just lie and call Trump a "racist," no one is convinced except the willfully gullible.

My biggest beef with Trump is that he doesn't respect the Constitution, attempted a coup to stay in power despite being diselected, and ever since then continues to undermine trust in Constitutional institutions, such as free elections. He's using lies and propaganda to destroy public discourse as a basis for his power, much like autocrats such as Putin, Bolsonaro or Duterte, and he's building up a personality cult.

When one of two parties no longer respects the Constitution, but is preparing a coup to seize power, in order to end freedom and democracy and establish an autocratic tyranny -- it simply doesn't matter what else they're doing. You have to oppose them, if you're decent.

It's simply a matter of freedom vs tyranny, like 1933 in Germany. There really is no other way to see it.

The boards policies basically allow all sorts of racist and sexist crap So its like a haven for trumpers. The mods dont even enforce the very few rules fairly and moderates get deterred from posting.
I stick around because its like having your own personal zoo.

I had a mod tell me the other day "besides, we don't even enforce that".

 

[SassyIrishLass]

He's a LINO.

He doesn't even provide comedy value.

Spouts BS about no shortages and claims he's not effected? Complete unadulterated BS...like every other left loon on here. Nobody believes that crap

 

[initforme]

Where is this socialism?

 

[BlueGin]

He's a LINO.

100%

There is a poster on this thread who has been here for 2 weeks and cannot post without abusing another poster. His life must be empty I suppose.

There are basically no actual Conservatives on this forum

Very few, but there appear to be some. There are no conservatives that are Trumpers. Be a conservative precludes following that which seeks to destroy, not conserve.

Define Conservative.

 

[Darkwind]

Good call. I'd say it's someone who I don't agree with and wouldn't vote for, but who plays fair, doesn't resort to dirty tricks and lies to win, and will respect the result if he's diselected.

Will you hold Democrats, progressives (not really redundant, but close), and Marxists to the same standard? Because they do NONE of that.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Or is the current administration and congress so difficult to defend that the liberals are waiting for the GOP to win, so they can go back to being the vocal critics?

Nothing wrong with that, I'm just wondering. I like it when liberals defend the indefensible.

Mods, if this should be in feedback, feel free to move it. It's a question about the board combined with politics, so I thought if I put it in feedback, it might get moved here.

Liberals run from USMB they flock together where they can ban the opposite point of view.

Didn’t even know what the Libertarian candidate supported. He can sure defend the lefties positions right down to the talking points though.

 

[White 6]

Socialism I don't worry about because there is none here nor will there ever be. Not a fan of abortion. If we outlaw abortion I'm fine with it. If it's not outlawed so be it. My morals are right where I want them to be.

There is definitely socialism here and has been since taxes were collect from the many to pay for the first road or school, not used by those that paid.

While greed, corruption and general indecency are not limited to one party, it's unfortunately the case today that one of both major parties still respects the Constitution and the values of freedom and democracy, while the other does not and is preparing for the installation of autocratic tyranny. The former are the Democrats, as appaling individual Democrats might be, and the latter are the Republicans.

There are liberals who are in the GOP

A true conservative recognizes a leftist.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

There are certainly many leftists here. There are loads of democrats here and some of them post in such profligate fashion one would almost think they are being paid to post.

Liberals, however, are extremely rare on this board.

 

[Missourian]

We take polls now and then, so the numbers are pretty clear. It's about 72% to 77% Trumpster here. I think that population has increased 5% or so in the last few years.

That's okay. It's one helluva good place for observation, even if trying to communicate with them is pointless.

You communicate.

You hate Trump....27,000 times a day.

And you hate that you can't make any headway with that message and Trump is likely going to be the 47th President of the United States.

I figured you'd realize you were communicating by all the laughing and pointing.

But... since you don't seem to get those less than subtle clues, here it is spelled out for you.

Message received, TDS diagnosed, message dismissed.

Your welcome.

What exactly is either Liberal or Conservative about the Federal Government attempting to make everything better for Americans?

How about we have a strong Federal Government to deal with any international affairs, provide for an adequate national defense,
protect our sovereign borders ... and stay the fuck out of our business that we can better handle to our desires at the state or local level?

That doesn't even include the idea we could be Liberals and Conservatives by attempting to self-govern to a degree.

[Harpy Eagle]

You don't even understand conservatism you idiot. You have no credibility making such a statement.

I understand it far better than you. And nobody that worships Trump the way you do is a conservative
