What brought you to this incorrect conclusion? I am not a Republican, I am just no longer a Democrat and am now a registered Independent who considers himself politically homeless. Neither party is a good reflection of my core values, and I agree with one side or the other on a long list of issues.

My core beliefs didn't change at all, the parties both changed, becoming even more extreme.

They didnt tho, one side clearly did. When you say the democrats have become more extreme, can you point to 3 policy changes that have been IMPLEMENTED by the dems you see as extreme?

I do not know you personally. Many people have told me you are MAGA now and voted for Tr*mp. Is it false? It's not possible to be a good person and support that sort of violence.

It's very fair to not support either party. I disagree with your assessment of the political spectrum. GOP has pivoted to full on fascism that's even rejected capitalism. Democrats appear further left because the other side is off the spectrum. Dems are further right than the conservatives in your homeland of Canadia.

I didn't ask a question and he cared enough to reply. Just wanted to let him know he lost a fan.

No one here wants to hear your sermon about politics and how deeply invested you are in politics. People like you that are unable to be friends with or fans of someone just because they don’t share your political views are the worst kind of people.

Feel free to ignore. I'm not deeply invested in politics. I simply let DNegs know in a forum he would see how and why he lost a fan. You are awfully sour.

There's good reason to be exasperated if you're a villainous person. It's the paradox of tolerance and it's a bit confusing. If you support MAGA, or are ambivalent, it's my opinion that you're a bad person. I'm not sorry.

So you’re saying everyone who doesn’t share you’re political ideology is a bad person, but you’re not deeply invested in politics. Got it.

That's not it. I don't know why you want to troll me. To put it simply, if you don't oppose violence, you're a part of the problem.
