re: Progressives that post on this site…what is your life story? What happened to you?

What does it make you, if you're not America First? And how many America First posters even on this very board are not on the Trump Train?

Conservatives being willing to hold their nose to vote for Trump even when they don't like him, makes this place a "Trump echo chamber"?

Maybe, just maybe there's the plausible scenario in which they realize that in spite of Trump's many shortcomings, he's better than the walking potato you voted for. Food for thought.

I believe this is true of most on this board but I will try to answer the OP. I always joke about “we need Dick Gephardt”. That’s the kind of liberal I am. Dull. Middle of the road. Try to help people who will help themselves. But the nonsense spewed by anyone today calling themselves progressive? Nope. Not me.


Born in early 70’s. In Louisiana with a farmer for a grandfather. He HATED Carter due to the grain embargo from the 70’s but everything else about him and our family would be liberal. Small family farmer. He lived on some subsidies. Fast forward to my Dad and being an O&G guy making a nice living until 1986. Dad was layed off from his job after 2-3 rounds of cuts. Reagan was the President. Boooo Reagan was the attitude in my house. I role out of college ready to vote Clinton in and Reagan’s VP out. Were we a flaming lib family? Hell no.


2 generations of people contradicting themselves because of who was in the big seat when shite flew. People who would have voted the other way if not for the President at the time of a change for the worse. Regardless of how much impact or control they actually had.

I am now over 50 and just a guy in the middle of the road. Racist or a Marxist depending on who you ask. I have nobody to vote for. I think Trump is a clown. I think Biden is a ghost of an old clown. If a republican came forward not trying to parrot trump, I’d vote republican. If a democrat came out not trying to sound like AOC, I’d vote for them. I honestly thought DeSantis was the answer until he looked so awkward in a couple of moments. I’d have voted for him over Biden. Trump? Gun to my head I’d pick him over Biden. He can still talk. But for Trump that’s a plus and a minus.

That’s it. That’s my story. Kind of dull and middle of the road. The way I’d like my President to be.

Keep believing that.. this goes way beyond him as does the progressive side, goes way beyond the likes of the knucklehead in the WH
