He knows he has to say that or you will eviscerate him. Conservatives lie about their true feelings when they think it will negatively impact them. They have no courage.
I’ve all but given up on bridging the divide, but something in me wants to find one person who is sane and honest but just somehow honestly has a huge blind spot
Doge is the biggest one. Doge is finding a lot of government waste. Sure, it’s being a little quick at times, but I’d honestly prefer that approach versus nothing ever getting done which is what’s been happening for decades now.
Yikes. I couldn’t disagree with you more on this one. And it’s barely even trump doing it, it’s mostly another billionaire oligarch, so that’s an interesting example.
I thought conservatives wanted to mostly preserve what we already have. But trump this term is doing nothing but burning shit down and causing chaos.
im not angry, just bewildered. im just a spectator commenting on your tribalistic behaviour causing you to instantly call me a conservative because i said your commentary is garbage, and quite frankly that’s an understatement. i hope you understand that this behaviour is one of the reasons why the democrats lost the election and that partisanism is a construct designed to make you angry and be divided from your neighbours, and you have clearly fallen for it.
To say that most people who are responded to this way are conservatives destroying society is an understatement.
I’m not all that concerned with you holier-than-thou takes here either. If you don’t see the problems for what they are, I don’t really need to have conversations with you just being smug the whole time.
So you’re saying you’re actually not conservative?
I am conservative.
Okay. Well show me I’m wrong and tell us your stance on Putin and specifically the war in Ukraine.
Putin is a tyrant, and Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine should keep all their territory, and Russia should pay for all Ukraine’s wartime debts.
Thanks for that response. I apologize for my assumption and I’m happy I’m wrong. With this said, how do you feel Trump is handling Putin currently?

They are out there but they aren’t going to be talking to you on social media. They’re not plugged in like that. Hence the blind spots.
Not well tbh. But he’s handling other things better. You win some, you lose some.
Alright. What is an example of something he handled well?

God the political discourse on lemmy has fallen off a cliff in terms of quality
Looks like you’re owning up to being conservative. Thanks for your input, rando
I am a conservative because I criticized you? You learn something new every day
You’re mad that I made a pretty safe assumption about conservatives.

Yes. I am a conservative destroying society. Do you want me to abolish the FCC or the FDA?
