MODERATORS
I didn't know the left did all this:
-Plotted to kidnap a governor.
-Committed an insurrection.
-Threw away a pandemic response plan because they thought it would hurt big cities more than rural areas.
-Let businesses take PPP loans when they didn't need it and not hold business accountable for what they did with those funds.
-Block student loan forgiveness saying it's too much money to spend (very hypocritical based on their PPP loans stance).
-Put policies in place to make voting harder.
-Reversed Roe v Wade to let the states decide. Then when a state votes in favor of abortion, they don't want to honor the people's decision.
-Trying to stop legalization of marijuana (even when it's put to a state vote) despite it being overwhelmingly favored by both parties.
-Banning/preventing life saving medical care (example ectopic pregnancies).
-Blame gun violence on mental health but then vote against mental health programs...
-Ignore experts in fields of science and education because it goes against their agenda.
-Plead to let the people decide on a new supreme court judge at the end of a presidential term (i.e. let the next president appoint the judge), only to not do the same when they hold office.
-Have Nazis on their side...
-Are in favor of gerrymandering (an unfair political strategy)
Oh wait, all that wasn't the left...
To say the left has gone crazy with the current state of affairs is blatantly ignorant. And to cast a wide net on anyone who opposes what you think is right is also extremely dangerous and akin to facism. I don't think every Republican is out of touch or crazy. I think they have many valid concerns. What I disagree with is the majority of Republican politicians. There are actually a few Republican politicians I do like just like there a ton of Democrat politicians I don't like. It's the direction the Republican party is going in regards to policies that I disagree with.
And the right literally have stated they are in favor of smaller federal/national government and that states should have more power (hence a smaller government...)
I like how you make this long list, and a bunch of them are lies, misleading or a normal thing they both do. Dude, the left is better at marketing, and they have convinced you of things that are not true. I am not a republican, but if you drill down on most of those, they are more right.
Which are lies? I'd be happy to present sources. I mean, if the left's "marketing" is wanting to help others, yeah, that's pretty good marketing. I personally like helping others which is why I lean left I guess...
What have they convinced me of that's not true? Please enlighten me. I do like debating and am open to having my mind changed (I did consider myself a Republican for the majority of my life after all).
