The wall hasn't even happened yet. Likely never will. Obama also had a travel ban. Clinton cut regulations in '99 (ending Glass- Stegall) which many attribute to the financial crash in '07.

Apples to oranges. Obama's travel ban and bill Clinton ending Glass Stegall. Obama was all talk and accomplished nothing consistent. Had a "travel ban", but ended up allowing more extremists free cover and "get out of jail cards". Clinton working to the tune of wall street "contributors", imo. That was then..this is now.

Just to clarify your position. Are you claiming that Trump is no different than Obama or Clinton as far as advocating for left wing policies and the direction of the country?

I've never seen a self proclaimed moderate on this board in all my years here that wasn't a liberal.

Moderate is a cloak for liberals and no one buys that bullshite.

Bingo.

They are a'' "moderate" but espouse the entire lib playbook of bad ideas.

it's a joke tbh. Now they're mad because everyone sees through their little "story" and they're "upset"

Its a mask for being an unprincipled opportunist. Not really any more complicated than that.

Using your logic, then being a conservative also means being an unprincipled opportunist since there is no conservative "standard" set by anyone. Ask two conservatives to set the government's role in society and you'll likely get two different results in some areas.

You're part of the problem that OP speaks of since you either view someone as being with you or, as you put it, an unprincipled opportunist.

Because the divide between liberal and conservative is more pronounced than ever, so if you haven't figured out which side is to blame for the decimation of our country, then you aren't paying attention and are considered to have an uninformed, worthless opinion.

No it's not. Many conservatives are split on some issues. Main examples are global warming, education, and net neutrality.

This place is a trash fire. They ridicule the far left while never even considering far right policies could be just as harmful as far left.

When did being a moderate become so frowned upon?

---

So long as people are constantly fighting each other, they're too busy engaging in petty squabbles to start working together towards common goals.

I'd bet 80% of America would vote to curb "legal" corruption in Washington DC, but 80% of America isn't given that option, since it seems like 30% is perpetually arguing with another 30%.

Media makes money on controversy, and points of contention are controversial. That certainly doesn't help.

Macbeth, what does it feel like to have 61 posts and presume to be in a position to draw conclusions about someone that has been posting here for 12 years?

Silly frick.
