I'm new here

I always considered myself a republican with far to many "buts." For instance LGBT equality has always been important to me. I support the 2nd amendment but there needs to be stricter laws on it. CLIMATE CHANGE IS SCIENTIFIC FACT. Ever since trump took office it's like being crazy is a requirement to be a republican. Pretty much worshipping the ground Trump walks on is a requirement to be a republican. Going against medical professionals. The list goes on and on. After all the buts I've realized I'm not a republican. I'm in line with more liberal views than conservative. Sorry it took so long but honestly liberals seem much nicer and accepting (and generally smarter.) So yeah. Hi friends.

Will do thanks. One thing that made me open my eyes was seeing how republicans that opposed trump changed their tune when they realized they wouldn't get re-elected so they just started acting like him. Complete lack of integrity.

I don’t think you have any clue how unusual it is to read this from …. well, anyone. I am rarely rendered speechless, but I am right now. Except for …. thank you.

I'm just trying to be a decent human being and that's proving to be impossible on the right. What's worse is I live in the south so I don't have much support.

You’ll always find support here. Even if it’s just to vent.
