Stop moving the fucking goalposts. And stop being such an absolutist twat. “The death penalty is bad” is not the same thing as “we shouldn’t punish kid diddlers.”randylahey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:39 amAre you against punishing pedophiles that sexually assault children under 12?jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:24 amI never accused you of celebrating it.

Although maybe it is to you - after all, in your world kids are gonna die anyway so what’s the point of reducing the number of them that die by assault rifle.

now THIS is reasonable:
ann coulter abortion compromise: ban for registered pubs only

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Fortunately. The pro gun trannies will take over soon and restore balance to the force. Neither side can stop them. The liberals can't dare become bigots and stand in their way, and Republicans won't dare infringe their gun rights
Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
But that’s just not true; please list out what you think are my leftiest positions. I think what you’ll see is they’re actually fairly centrist (and popular) positions, and that what’s really happening is the right is (in its desperation, catering to lunatics) lurching even further over to the right.randylahey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 11:48 amBoth sides of the culture war are taking shit so far from the middle its just infuriating for everybody lol.

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
Some of the leftist things lately that actually bother me:
1. all the support for vaccine mandates, despite no testing of the vaccines ability to stop covid from spreading, no regard for the individuals medical autonomy, whether they even needed the vaccine or not
2. The insistence of this transgender agenda being promoted to confused young kids, allowing hormone treatment or surgeries on minors
3. Pedophilia dismissed as "minor attracted people"
4. Not wanting to require voter ID, but labeling states/politicians that want it as "banning voting rights" - the list of things you need ID for is pretty massive, no reason voting shouldn't be on it

Please list out what you think are my leftiest positions. And then let’s actually discuss them as fixed targets, rather than constantly moving goalposts (or, more dumbly, inscrutable scare words).
There’s very much a middle. The far right is just in denial over what that middle presently is, and where it’s going.

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
And jfish I realize your opinions aren't as extreme as some or those. But the conversation was whether or not both sides are moving farther away from the middle. Both are
But I do not think you are an extremist. I know you mean well. Most people do, and most people's views don't completely align with either the left or right

THERE IS VERY LITTLE POPULAR SUPPORT FOR ACTUAL VACCINE MANDATES. I DO NOT SUPPORT AND HAVE NEVER SUPPORTED VACCINE MANDATES.
2. The insistence of this transgender agenda being promoted to confused young kids, allowing hormone treatment or surgeries on minors YOU’RE BUNDLING ISSUES. PLEASE UNPACK.
3. Pedophilia dismissed as "minor attracted people" WHO IS DOING THIS? SPECIFIC EXAMPLES PLEASE.
4. Not wanting to require voter ID, but labeling states/politicians that want it as "banning voting rights" - the list of things you need ID for is pretty massive, no reason voting shouldn't be on it. I’M NOT SURE WHAT “BANNING VOTING RIGHTS” EVEN MEANS. BUT IN ANY CASE, THE ISSUE IS THAT THE DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE OF ACTUAL VOTING FRAUD IS NOT NEARLY PERVASIVE ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY CLEARLY VOTING-SUPPRESSIVE MEASURES (LIKE REQUIRING STATE-ISSUED IDENTIFICATION, WHICH IS TRANSPARENTLY AIMED AT SUPPRESSING THE VOTE OF CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE WHO TEND TO VOTE A CERTAIN WAY.)

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
Youre arguing 2 different things at the same time. Are we talking about the 2 sides getting farther from the middle? Or are we talking about your personal views
