It's happening on the state level to some extent. Ooky's lived experience is happening with moderates here, and it's having an effect. Our congressman, who's enjoyed bi-partisan and independent support for years, had his ass handed to him by his constituents for pandering to the far right and for supporting Trump on far-right issues. Some of those constituents voted for Trump because they wanted change, but not insanity change. Our congressman is moving back towards moderate conservative. When people who've voted for you for years get pissed off, it's time to move in their direction.skankhunt42 wrote:I hate that mindset, just fucking hate it.

Now it's come back to haunt you. You guys made it quite clear that this is a war, and I hope my side wins it.

Lmfao.
Far right = people who don't want their lives ruined for not participating in a gay wedding, or nuns who don't want to pay for abortions, or people who want to go to a lecture without being physically attacked by democratic party militia while the democratic party police chief orders the police to not intervene.
Get a grip. You guys are the extremists. No more compromise. You screwed the pooch.

Moderates don't give a rat's ass about what other people do with their bodies, even if we find those actions distasteful or immoral. And that goes for both the right and left.

Yep. I don't give a shit. Too bad you make it your business to order our bodies to do things we find immoral.
That's why this is happening. That's why you are hated by all that red area you see on an election map. Hate is not hyperbole either. People where I live absolutely hate you now.
The hilarious irony in all this is that Trump *is* the moderate politician and you people are too batshit crazy to realize it. *This* is the compromise.

Re: Haven't been around for a while...
You just finished posting that you want to tell other people what to do with their bodies. That said, I don't give a rat's ass about being liked, especially by people who want to tell others how to live when their own lives are a mess. If you haven't worked hard to better yourself, why should I care what you think?Speaker to Animals wrote:Yep. I don't give a shit.

Trump no doubt has personally moderate social views. This does not excuse his actions or his choice of associates.

I don't tell people what to do with their bodies, princess. I don't give a shit. Just don't force me to participate, which is literally trying to control my body.
Thank God for Donald Trump!
