It seems like the far extremes of both sides are becoming more prevelant.


In the end, there are no moderates.

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

You defining militias as far right is evidence enough you’re a hack. Sweet buzzword though.

I live in a district that elected Clay Higgins. I am a “leftist” by tigerdroppings standards.

My wife and I took our 16-month-old daughter to the pool today and had wonderful interactions and conversations with probably 35 people- no doubt many who have political views different than ours. Many times our kids (or their grandkids) were playing together.

The internet skews things considerably, but I still think there is room for gray area moderation and an understanding, empathetic humanity out in the real world.

Politics is different than religion, I have some right leaning views and some left leaning views, I don't base my political belief system on lining up with a particular party.

As a “moderate” the right would accept you and the left would kill you. But seeing as you voted for Biden your “moderate” status is void and you are welcome to deal with the leftist filth you’ve enabled.

Republicans, I agree with 65% of the time.

Democrats, I agree with .05% of the time.

There is no viable party that lines up perfectly for me either.

Moderates are too afraid to say what they really think so they either voice the progressive narrative or stay quiet to not get bothered.

It really does skew things a lot.

I think capitalism is the best system, and am a big proponent of personal freedom, right to have as many guns as you want, pray to God whenever and wherever you want, I don't think successful people should be punished monetarily for their success.

Well you have one party that is damn near communist. And the other major party is only not quite as bad. Which means the entire country is full of either stupid people or people that feel they are being governed by stupid people. Not a good recipe for success.

I consider myself to be a moderate and there’s plenty out revere I think they just get pushed off of various places turning them into echo chambers. They’re out there though

Yet you voted for the opposite of all that. Seems you have some self exploration to do.

This isn’t a right wing position.

Except for when it comes to the vaccine.

You’re in favor of red flag laws.

Not exclusively a right wing position.

You voted for higher taxes.

Trump is the opposite of a lot of things I believe in. Way more than Biden was.

That's not to say I think people who voted for Trump are bad or did a bad thing, my best friend is one of the biggest Trump supporters I know. I just personally was not a fan.

Still I can say Trump did some good things imo, I like that he got us out of some wars and not into any new ones. He said what he felt and actually believed a lot of the time, which is rare for a politician.

Yet you can't see all the good that Trump accomplished and all the bad that Biden is doing with your misguided beliefs. This country is going to hell because of the Democrats socialist agenda and obviously you had no problem supporting this.

I literally listed some things I think Trump did well, and I am not in favor of everything Biden has done.

When people get into trouble is when they start idolizing a political figure and acting like everything they say and do is right and they can do no wrong.

I won't vote for Biden next time if I think he does a bad job.

You’re clearly an America-hating troll. Stop trying to convince us you’re a moderate when it’s clear you love Communism.
