TC, you didnt answer the questions that I asked here.
Didn't see, sorry. Your comment about democrats not saving GOP from their own screwups I assume is about McCarthy getting removed? I still disagree about that. McCarthy was pushing a moderate stance when extremists revolted against him.
Partisan politics is the only reason he was removed. If democrats cared more about their country they would have voted to keep him in. They knew full well it would be weeks of gridlock and now a more right-leaning speaker is in place. All dems had to do was side with the country and not party.
But, they wanted to kneecap the GOP. Doesn't make them better in my mind, sorry.
I'm not saying, once again, republicans are the "good" party. Both play their games. But there is a lot of blind love for democrats I don't understand.
Both parties are, in some ways arguably, abusers of this country. Extremist republicans are the "physical" abusers--removing physical rights or intimidating minorities.
But democrats are the emotional abusers. They are very much the party of censorship and doxxing. I think there's a lot of nuance here for interpretation and disagreement but generally I'm reasonably certain that most of the media does in fact lean left, whereas fox news just leans very, very right. Even MSM like CBS at the national level, by virtue of their reporting, I view as essentially left.
Which is 100% why they were collectively mad about Elon buying twitter--stiffling conservative voice is a key element of the democratic platform. I imagine many of you will disagree, but....just look at what's been done to him/twitter incessantly since he purchased it. Elon...."liked" a post...about someone posting an opinion....and it just became a vehicle for more rebellion against him.
The phrasing around this as well is highly inflammatory. e.g., CNN:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/17/business/elon-musk-reveals-his-actual-truth/index.html
Media has a highly inflammatory reaction to anything that goes against their platform.
To be clear I'm not even staking a position here, I'm just pointing out an example of an attempt to censor opinions that come from a rightward view. When you remove the ability to express opinions without consequence you're an abuser--the MO of the left.
Trump and biden, regardless of age, cannot be compared. Unfortunately I was suspended by someone who is not a doctor when I gave a medical opinion of Biden. So I do not see trump and biden as the same even if age is the same, but cannot comment further.
How is Haley not moderate? She is okay with states having abortion rights and supports both ukraine AND israel and champions diplomacy. What is your point of just attaching her name to trump? Seriously. What is the reason?
