    The GOP is full of the biggest hypocrites to be sure. Especially the evangelical Christians who for some reason think Trump is a good Christian man, lol. Of course, these are the same people who support Kenneth Copeland and Greg Locke who are some of the biggest criminals and grifters out there, so it takes one to know one I guess.

    Simply put, they never thought they’d find themselves on this side of the coin and now that they do, it’s allowed and excusable.

    If you don’t respect the liberal view of the conservative ideology, why trust the conservative view of the liberal ideology?

    I think you’d get further talking with them and really trying to understand what they believe from their own perspective. I think you might be surprised to find many of them to be good people.

    Really. Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Franklin openly condemned Bill Clinton saying that the personal behavior of the president mattered and both endorsed Donald Trump saying that the Trump's adultery was a personal matter.

    To me as a guy on the right side of the aisle, we were happy to be just left alone to live our life as we chose. When everyone on the left kept pushing us to live as they thought we should, we turned toward the Make America Great Again view and started fighting back. By calling us a cult all you do is exacerbate the extreme right side at the expense of just plain folks like me. Pushing speech pronouns, CRT, woke policies, is just making it worse, but the left doesn't care what we think. I don't hate you, but if you persist in jamming everything down my throat I soon will.

    It's funny that you just want to live your life as you choose, yet, have problems with people pushing speech pronouns? Why can't those who are LGBTQ choose what pronouns they wished to be addressed by? Isn't that just other people living the life they choose? And what harm comes to you if you call someone they/them instead of he/his anyway?

    I understand you don't like things like speech pronouns and woke policies, but you don't have to understand or like them to respect them. Attempt to understand instead of hate. You just want to be left alone, but if someone from who is LGBTQ happens to interact with you, I would imagine you would prefer that interaction to be respectful. I hope you can understand the LGBTQ person feels the exact same way, and misgendering them using the wrong pronouns, to them, is a sign of disrespect.

    The problem with Trump and MAGA is it took the hate on the right and magnified it. So much so that Trump turned the right into a Fascist movement, with Trump as the leader. Now, they don't even respect democratic norms like conceding when you lose an election.

    You're just the other side of the coin. There's a whole host of things for which your side won't leave others alone to live their lives as they choose, starting with abortion. Your side wants to tell everyone what to do just as much as the left does, maybe more so.

    Your reading comp just sucks. You did not understand at all what i was trying to say. The LGBTQ can do what they want, and I have no problem, but as a minority why force the rest of the country to change. The right didn't hate the left until the left tried to force us to change to their point of view. I have several friends whose children turned out to be gay and I treat them all with respect. We are still good friends. I made it a point to say I didn't hate any liberals, yet they insist on pushing their beliefs down my throat, so that time may come after all. Calling all MAGA Republicans as haters is flat out wrong and over the top, yet even our President does it and the left thinks it's fine, why?

    I live in Florida, but if NY and California want abortion until birth they are welcome to it. If I am asked to vote my beliefs in Florida, I think there should be limits and will vote accordingly. I also think states that won't allow abortions at all are wrong, but if the majority vote that way, so be it. Now remind me again how I am forcing you to do anything. Most believe killing a living baby is morally wrong, yet they are considered radicals in this discussion, really?

    Damn. I am jealous. Saw the preview at our little indie theater, BUT then they never actually showed it. With so little out there, it is a shame this didn't get more attention....& I've only seen the trailer.

    Your side, where I live in Texas, is forcing a newly pregnant women to carry the fetus to term and give birth and raise a child (or put up for adoption). My daughter had an abortion here when she was 17. If it happened today she would not have had that option. It was her choice. Now, 17 year old girls in Texas have no choice, thanks to your side. And most Texans favor abortion rights within reason. Hopefully they will vote accordingly in November, but many, even if they do favor abortion rights, will vote for the same tribe they always do.

    Now you remind me how I am forcing you to do anything. What is it that you want to be able to do that I am not allowing you to do?

    I already stated that those states that allow no abortion at all are wrong. I actually believe that now that there is no longer a forced right to abortion, reasonable laws will be passed allowing it, but with reasonable limits. Sorry you live in Texas. Fight to change it if you feel strong enough, but I am not stopping you from whatever you decide to do
