Latest from Gallup:
U.S. Party Preferences Have Swung Sharply Toward Democrats
it's getting next to impossible to think of the Democratic Party as being pro-America.
Interesting that Petey thinks 51% of the country is anti-American...
Only 39% (GOP and leaners) are pro-American. Are there really that many Confederate flag wavers still around? Surprising.
I guess they are hiding out inside all those Cracker Barrels.
pro-'Murica
Jim Crow and The South Shall Rise Again
Joe McCarthy
'Murica... Love it or Leave it
"real 'Muricans", "proud to be a Redneck"
Defund the police
Open Borders and free healthcare for all
infanticide
Higher taxes
Riots are good and protected by the first amendment but going to church is bad and your first amendment religious rights are suspended
"infanticide"...nah words aren't loaded on the right...
I'm not on the hard right nor the hard left, so the extreme word choices on either side put me off...
I don't know any moderate Dems, nor 95% of their elected officials, who want "Open Borders", so to me that's a right wing boogeyman.
Free healthcare for all, yes.
And I'm coming around to it as well, though there's a lot I'd like to have thought through in the process.
Higher taxes, sure, we've had far higher taxes in prior eras and thrived, so I'm ok with that conceptually...but I'd sure prefer way less complication, ridiculous amount of paperwork necessary, way too many calculations and machinations and way too many loopholes.
Defund the Police...I don't like the phrase, but that's actually the point, the shock of dealing with what the heck that even means...I'm definitely in favor of dramatically increasing social service funding so as to reduce load on the police for work better done by social services and various ways to disaggregate and reduce poverty and related costs. I'm also in favor in decriminalization of drugs, treating as a public health rather than criminal issue, dramatically changing the load on policing and the devastation of drug related violence, defending street corners, children as runners etc.
No moderate Dem or 95% of the elected Dem officials ever said "riots are good"...yes, "protests", but not "riots". And no one, at least not that I've heard, has said that going to church is bad, but yes, for now go to church online or in a parking lot, maintain social distancing, masks, etc. Care about your neighbor.
It's the the extreme baloney from you right wingers, led by the Troll-in-Chief, that's stupid on all this. And that's why the country is swinging so hard to the Dems right now.
I'm an R, but will be voting with the Dems in 2020 because of the Troll-in-Chief.
