    I think for many older people, which all the 99ers are, it's tough to open up your mind and be accepting of new things because it implies you were wrong or an ******* all your life. So, it's easier to double down on the way they think it should be and the politicians take of advantage of it. Antifa and transgenders are things they never even thought about 10 years ago. Rural issues are also something the Democratic party has done a piss poor job of addressing since Bill Clinton.

    and yet

    And are we here left to believe that somehow you can vote for the Rs who are 100x more racist than the Ds?

    It sounds like you do not like the Ds, searched high and low for a reason to hate them and then proceeded to rationalize your vote for the Rs.

    Just like.

    Remo Williams: You know, Chiun, sometimes you're a real pain in the ass.
    Chiun: That is because it is the shortest route to your brain.
    Remo Williams: Chiun, you're incredible!
    Chiun: No!... I am better than that...

    Nah. I was a democrat but I was old school. BLM, Antifa, openly racist liberal media/politicians, open borders, and some other things like criminal level taxes made me uncomfortable supporting the left going forward.

    Also, the whole Biden/Kamala thing was such an embarrassment. Get your **** together. And stop letting violent repeat offenders out of prison to kill innocent people.

    Wait until you find out how capital gains are taxed compared to income.

    He's the exactly the type of person that divisive politics works on. Get them to focus on **** that really doesn't matter when they lose sight of the fact that they are getting ****ed over.

    I have good friend who is like that. He's a really smart attorney. He got so wrapped up around the axle of free speech and Biden trying to curb misinformation on facebook and X that he voted for Trump who will shut you down for saying something he doesn't like at all. He also goes nuts around gender identity even though they have no effect on his life.

    30 percent of all women get sexually assaulted but somehow the bathroom a transgender uses changes everything for them.

    The reduction of the capital gains tax that GW implemented probably has more to do with income equality than anything else.

    Yeah I don’t really care about transgender issues. I am neutral there.

    I do hate the pronoun stupidity
