    Yes he is. He might claim he's not but he is.

    Uhhh O&B's first reaction to the thread was "You got us. This definitely proves that white people are racist. Damn it. These guys let the cat out of the bag.", then 95 follows it up with "Oh my god, there was a republican that was racist! Oh the humanity! Let’s tell everyone! Because there aren’t any racists who are dems…". 95 set up the straw man argument that the OP was getting to this point.

    If RIP is playing honestly he would have instead agreed with me because OP posts 100% pro libbie/anti pub threads and posts.
    It’s hard to be honest with oneself.

    It's cool. I just thought y'alls reaction was strange considering it was a pretty innocuous OP.

    Also I'm totally fine with anecdotal stuff being posted here. Without these threads it would be nothing but Trump, COVID, and abortion.

    Moderate conservative? More like moderate liberal. He posts every DeSantis hit piece that hits the internet. He has snowed you over making him think he’s not a moderate lib.

    I think pointing out the issues within our side is important to solving them. As pointed out earlier, Im not a fan of these anectdotal points because they are easy to just Google on both sides, but I certainly see the strategy to flushing out the rats.

    You aren't mistaken, but I stand for principles rather than personalities, so that clearly makes me a liberal.

    I'm also too pragmatic to be a conservative apparently. I support things that actually reduce abortion, like comprehensive sex ed and easy access to contraceptives, rather than things that sound good but don't achieve the goal.

    You were for school lockdowns if I recall and forced vaccinations of children. You post every hit piece on DeSantis true or not(most were false). Would love to hear all the republicans you stand with LOL.

    Righties hate it when people accuse others of being racist, yet have no problem accusing and insisting others of being liberal. If a poster isn't liberal, please stop insisting that they are. Thank you.

    The Republican Party is so inverted they can’t even know what they believe.
    The party of law and order wants to abolish the fbi.
    The party of free trade and unfettered economics supported tariffs and embargoes.
    The group thatntouts American freedom around the world semi enamored with Russia, who is the opposite of that.
    The party of individual liberty and choice is passing bill after bill doing the opposite in places like florida.
    The party the supposedly reveres out Democratic institutions is perfectly fine with tearing them down to serve the needs of one self absorbed lunatic.
    The party that always calls the Dems crazy and out of touch clings to a fever dream about 2020, along with Q and his utter nonsense.
    Who fights around the world and have been willing to put US soldiers in harms way to fight authoritarians seems to have no problem bowing down before a wanna be one here.
    The party that freaked out about Obama wearing a tan suit not only don’t stand up to the idiocy from orange julius, they cheer it on.

    the list is really endless, but from my outside perspective, the people who claim to be left by the party are probably more Republican than most of the folks still there.

    I have yet to see him post a positive thing DeSantis has done or something as simple as what conservative values does he post about in here. You know, like proof he’s this Republican he says he is. If someone posts 10 posts ripping republicans and one 1 post being indifferent to republicans doesn’t make him a republican except in his own head.

    Interesting that he chooses to point out problems in one party though.
    It’s pretty clear how he posts in these halls.

    A moderator (who for the most part knows the political affiliation of every poster in this section) just told you he's not liberal. Why do you feel the need to insist otherwise?

    I get your point. Accusing people of being liberal is like accusing someone of being racist. They are both near the top of the evil scale.

    I don't really care what the democrats do, I'm not a democrat. The Republican party is gradually pushing me away, but that is still who I am. Maybe if they keep trying they can get me to quit caring about politics, but they haven't quite gotten there yet. I'm more disappointed that the party I grew up in doesn't seem to exist anymore than ready to throw in the towel. Conservative principles work. Our country needs more of them. It saddens me that there isn't currently a party willing to promulgate them.
