Even more respect. I was fiscally conservative, but now moderate, also socially liberal for the most part. Apparently, in these parts, I am part of the radical left. As for the parties, well one party is trying to destroy the country, so I guess I’m a Democrat.
More often than not, I regret coming into this part of the forum, there's few facts, everyone has their mind made up and it's just poo slinging and name calling. People can't seem to agree to disagree and be civil about it. A huge part of the problem is the media on both sides never tells the entire story, it's always slanted from one side or the other.
Being in the middle, I think I can fairly objectively say that the vast majority of the problem lies with MAGA/Trumpers. That group has an active disdain and dismissal of the idea of facts, thereby making it impossible to have any substantive discussion. If you’ve spent a little time here, you’ll know who I’m talking about. This is less about a difference of opinion and more about disregard for facts. Which results in poo flinging and insults. Or for me, ridiculing certain posters for sport because they consistently post nonsense.
