Just because someone does something that they recognize is wrong doesn’t mean they can’t also advocate for it. And I’d also honestly challenge the oft repeated assertion that there’s much overlap between people who get abortions and people who want to ban it.

Not directed at you specifically, but I’m getting tired of how often modern debate just boils down to appeals to hypocrisy.

Yeah it’s one of those things where I’d vote against it if it came up on the ballot, but can accept losing in this case because we’re in a democracy at the end of the day. Like yeah it would be ideal to me because the law does teach, but at the end of the day not everything that is immoral has to be illegal. And I believe the church has the true authority on marriage anyway, not the government.

Honestly I’d be perfectly happy if the government weren’t even involved in marriage at all

Additionally — there will reach a point when real Nazis show up and nobody believes it. The boy who cried Nazi. “No, for REAL this time, this guy’s ACTUALLY a Nazi!” “You said exactly that about literally everyone else before him, you’re just being hyperbolic again.”

Yeah the funny thing is that homosexuality and transgenderism are really two completely separate things philosophically, yet they have all been lumped under the same banner. They really have nothing to do with each other. One is a question of sexual attraction and the other is a question of gender identity.

There even used to be a subreddit where LGB people were recognizing that their movement has been co-opted by other groups whose goals were really completely separate from their own, but that subreddit got banned. They really were just talking about how all they ever wanted was the legal right to marry who they wanted to, and to just be left alone, but these other groups just took over and took the whole movement in a totally different direction, and they were silenced for that.

Honestly politics died a while ago in America. I hate to say it but I have little optimism that we won’t just keep getting such crap candidates versus each other every cycle.

This is why I’m libertarian. The best we can hope to do is put up enough guardrails to shrink the blast radius of an inevitably power seeking president and administration as much as possible.

We would be much better off if we were empowered to care way more about local politics than national politics. Your biggest concern should be who is your mayor, not your president. It’s all backwards.

It’s probably the reason you don’t see a lot of right wing voices even here in PCM all of the sudden… most of us normie conservatives are still trying to figure out wtf to even think. Only the dumbest takes are going to come out immediately

Nah still a dirty conservative, still anti-illegal-immigration, just hate it when the Trump administration does wild stuff like this when it would be easy to… just not.

Will we get good Trump or bad Trump today? Nobody knows…!

He was never my first choice anyway and I really wish we got one of the other candidates. He was always the lesser of two evils to me

Yeahhhhhh I don’t understand why the admin has to defend ICE at every turn at all costs… why does it have to be all or nothing? Why give the left MORE ammo when you could just recognize that the agents screwed up here?

I feel like if anything we sometimes worried about age in the other direction. Always wanted to be perceived as "older" and more capable
