Conservative thoughts, if you want to know

So you won't vote for Democrats/progress/alignment w/many of your values out of spite?

Do I have that right?

So you voted for Trump because of the things people are saying during an insurrection months AFTER the election? I didn’t realize conservative thoughts were so clairvoyant.

You are not a conservative. You are a Trump supporter. You voted for someone who had no business ever being voted in. Ever.

There are conservatives and Republicans. Then there's Trump supporters. You cannot be both.

I don't care if you think I'm being mean. I have no nice words left for anyone who voted for Trump in November.

As the only dem in a family of republicans in a fairly red area, I don't think I've ever heard someone say those things, but I don't doubt they have. I can also tell you that I don't think I've thought or said those things about anyone (well, maybe Trump and McConnell). I think there is a lot of common ground with most people, but if one more Republican talks down to me I might call them a cunt. You can't carry on a conversation with someone who is convinced they have all the answers.

I am a Catholic too -- but I think voting according to one's religion is a huge mistake. Imposing my personal choices (or the ones my religion dictates) is unfair and unjust. I also can't stomach the conspiracy crap. If you actually believe that nonsense, we have nothing else to talk about.

One more thing. If you get your information from blogs and/or Facebook, you (general you, not OP) need a lesson in critical thinking.

Sorry, but but your statements I don’t support Trump and I voted for him are contradictory. By voting for him, you did support him. And after a disastrous 4 years, you voted for him again? If you’re concerned about the lives of unborn children, what about the lives of 350,000 Americans who died of covid, in part because of Trump’s incompetence?

I appreciate your honesty. As a rape survivor for years by my step father however I wish you would reconsider your position.

Exactly what I wanted to say.

So you don't support getting rid of a clump of cells but you're ok with 350,000+ living breathing people dead from COVID.  Yeah that makes so much sense.

Sorry, I lied. I read your post again and have a few more questions. If you’re opposed to taxation, how can you support Trump? His tax cuts only benefited the ultra wealthy. More assumptions on my part, but if you are teacher, it’s unlikely you benefited from Trump’s tax cuts for millionaires. I’m also wondering where you get your news? Genuine question. Where did you hear about Biden’s positions on immigration, hand outs, taxes etc.

May I suggest fact checking your sources?

teach4u define traditionalist. That and terms like it always gets me. At what point in history would be the best to halt change because it's "the best" or the best for me. Because most places in history have traditions that hurt or at best ignore a wide range of people. Old ways aren't all the best, fair or even kind ways. Always reminds me of "not in my backyard" once your in, no change please.

Also, you'll never vote dem because of the names you've been called? By that logic I'll never vote Republican again either because of the names I've been called in the past four years.

Truth is, I'll never (most likely, never say never) vote GOP again because of what they have done, the lines they've crossed while willfully hurting people for no other reason than who they are. and for money. and their God.

Just my reaction to your thoughts, no direct attack intended.

Sorry for all of the questions but I don’t discuss politics with any Trump supporters in person. Even my dad, who has been a solid conservative for all of his life, almost 80 years, did not vote for Trump.

Anyway, I’m wondering about your statement about Kamala Harris. Why do you think she dropped out of the race? If you don’t like her, what do you disagree on, besides abortion?

I respect this.  I really do.  I disagree with you, but I respect the fact you have the right to this opinion.  I also hate Trump.  I have friends that voted Trump for this reason and others, and despite a lively debate going on right now by text with a friend, I love and respect her opinion.
