Think this is effectively where the US stops pretending democracy is still a thing

      Okay. Well show me I’m wrong and tell us your stance on Putin and specifically the war in Ukraine.

        Putin is a tyrant, and Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine should keep all their territory, and Russia should pay for all Ukraine’s wartime debts.

          Thanks for that response. I apologize for my assumption and I’m happy I’m wrong. With this said, how do you feel Trump is handling Putin currently?

            He knows he has to say that or you will eviscerate him. Conservatives lie about their true feelings when they think it will negatively impact them. They have no courage.

              I’ve all but given up on bridging the divide, but something in me wants to find one “conservative” person who is sane and honest but just somehow honestly has a huge blind spot

                They are out there but they aren’t going to be talking to you on social media. They’re not plugged in like that. Hence the blind spots.

            Not well tbh. But he’s handling other things better. You win some, you lose some.

                Doge is the biggest one. Doge is finding a lot of government waste. Sure, it’s being a little quick at times, but I’d honestly prefer that approach versus nothing ever getting done which is what’s been happening for decades now.

                  Yikes. I couldn’t disagree with you more on this one. And it’s barely even trump doing it, it’s mostly another billionaire oligarch, so that’s an interesting example.

                  I thought conservatives wanted to mostly preserve what we already have. But trump this term is doing nothing but burning shit down and causing chaos.
