Hell no. I never belonged to the MAGA cult, and I viewed him as a barely tolerable evil, who would be paralyzed by congress of blue. That didn’t happen. Right now, about half of the cult has broken off from their false messiah and would sooner die than see him keep his foothold on politics.

I feel you. I was pretty right-leaning myself at one point but never supported Trump

Even those who voted for him, often just did so because the opposing candidate had views that were, frankly, unconscionable to them, or out of a severe moral outrage, at the media, at the prominence of the “alt left” in higher offices, etc., not because they wanted to. I fell into that category. And I have not forgiven myself for it. I will, maybe; some day. When my loved ones aren’t suffering because of my vote.

Some people might call it a wasted vote, but I was really happy to hear my friend who’s recently become a very active Christian say that he didn’t vote Trump and instead voted for a third party candidate he believed would be the best fit for President. He used to be VERY deep into the right pipeline and always did his research, so once he got out of that pipeline he’s been doing really well. He was never stupid or anything like the insults people often like to throw, it was just very easy for a-

For clarification, when I think of “conservative” or “liberal”, I think of how it applies to the constitution instead of party affiliation. Conservatives believe it doesn’t need as much amending to remain functional (thus the “conservative” view of the constitution), and liberals think that as time progresses, some things need to be amended since their original interpretation could be different now and in the future (thus a “liberal” progressive view of the constitution)

And I think viewing it that way makes it much easier to have conversations about its interpretation and potential amendments to be made for the benefit of everyone. Like former presidential candidates said, we don’t disagree on the goals of the country, we just all have differing ideas of how to make it happen

I think the issue with that framework is that it talks PAST the current common usage.

I left the Democratic Party because I feel so frustrated. I feel like the Dems aren’t doing enough about the total shitshow in the White House and aren’t unifying. They’re very disjointed. I am sick of choosing between the lesser of two evils and any political party thinking they’re guaranteed my vote. They’re not. The whole point of a democracy is that they need a good enough candidate that they can EARN it.

Maybe not, but people also show a sort of palpable hatred to all conservatives in recent years, even those who either supported Trump at one time, or who never did. I understand that they are angry though

They could have. And consciously chose not to, but to enable and facilitate, to push his agenda even if they opposed it or spoke against it
