I mean shite, look at Virginia.

Our electorate has shown that it's still flexible and not nearly as polarized and rigid as the polar zealots want everyone to believe.


Youngkin was a Romneyesque milquetoast moderate and his opponents tried to tie him to KKK and White nationalism. Yes he won but let’s not act like the zealots on the left labeled him as such.

Um, it's more than just women in the picture. They are literally forced into that with no real choice in very basic personal things.

That's scary as frick.

That's a very stupid game, and I'm not interested in playing.

Conservatives agree the Progressive game is low IQ, yet want to imitate it.

I call myself a Traditionalist.

Conservative just means trying to keep the status quo.

What exactly is rationale and reasonable about abortion at 9 months



You're literally posting polar talking points as an attempt at a "gotcha". Go look at the % of the population who supports abortion that late. It's proving my point.

I don't have a side.

You're being obstinate, you don't even believe the crap you say here.

No, you're not on "my side." I'm far better off away from your types. I don't need your situational progressivism.

Uh yeah I'm preaching a return to moderation.

"Drag queen story hour" is not moderation, FWIW.

Is Youngkin who you associate with "drag queen story hour"? If not, then you should be happy at the "Romneyesque milquetoast moderate".

And polarized thinkers on the other side tie even moderate-right pols like Romney to pedophilia/grooming and Communism

Not sure. I think those were Pentecostals, which I have met many of. Similar to Mennonites from what I've been told.

And like I said earlier, I've been to some Apostolic/Pentecostal churches where I'm pretty sure they bring out snakes for true believer services that I'd never be invited to

True but its what is selling on TV. Pure deflection to entertain and distract the masses to what the authoritarians are doing.

I'm not sure the 100 senex of Rome died out. Bread and blood to feed the rable masses while the elite rule. Seems familiar.

Autism seems accurate. Crippling condition combined with your low T beta vibe.

I'm an individualist. I don't want to tie myself to people who are failures. I believe in voluntary cooperative ventures, so my ideal community is very small.

When SHTF, will be interesting to see the political thought here. Its shifting daily.

Most people here are tied to their wealth and comfort. Most will sell out in a heartbeat.

Do you mean that TV is more liberal than the exact right of US culture? I'm honestly not sure if this is your argument or not.

Because yeah, arts are always more liberal/progressive than the general cultures. That's the whole concept of art and creation. You don't create by making the same thing that's always been made before.

That's one reason why societies that become successful enough to have art tend to drift more liberal over time. It's just the natural order of things.

Naw. If I am autistic, I've worked around it. If I am autistic I was blessed with other characteristics that permitted me to develop myself so it's not so crippling.

But part of that is recognizing how -EV passion is, so I'm not passionate or emotional, really.

They’re Mennonites. There’s obvious cultural overlap between apostolic/Pentecostal and Mennonites. They’re probably not very similar beyond that.
