If you identified as MAGA/Trump voter, are you willing to oppose any of his policies, most notaby, the current hardball approach to take over Greeland?

Opposing means accepting that you don't get Greenland... their wealth to pay your debts and any protections the nuclear shield would provide should it be built. if you get into "it" with Russia, you and your offspring will have to slug it out.

As every option has risks, alienating your allies also has risks.

Socialism has it's powers and Greelanders are happy as they are, and can't blame them for not wanting to take the risk to be USA... when they have what they want... and don't want your debt.

Maintain status quo... or push to control Greeland because of... why?

I'm saying this as someone who's left-leaning himself. And I'm talking about internal disagreement here. I'm not talking about disagreements with conservatives or the MAGA crowd. I'm personally strongly anti-Trump and anti-MAGA but that would be a completely different discussion.

What I'm talking about is that the left has become extremely intolerant towards other people on the left. These days you really can't have any sort of slight disagreement with other people on the left on many issues, without them freaking out, becoming enraged and throwing insults at you.

For example even if you're anti-Trump and you're anti-MAGA, but you dare to have a slightly nuanced opinion on mass migration you're immediately the enemy. And if you dare to criticize Islam that's a huge no-no of course. Islam MUST NOT be criticized within left-wing/left-leaning spaces. If you criticize Islam you're immediately branded as a racist who hates brown people. Same if you have a slightly differing view on DEI and affirmative action. If you criticize those concepts even in the slightest be prepared to be labeled a racist nazi white supremacist. And you MUST NOT criticize gender ideology under any circumstances. And there's all sorts of other stuff that just cannot be criticized under any circumstances according to those on the modern left.

And I'm saying that as someone who's left-leaning, and who's extremely opposed to Trump and MAGA. I could write a very long essay about everything that I despise in Trump and the modern conservative movement. But that's not the point of my post here. My point is that the modern left is hurting themselves by having become so extremely intolerant of internal dissent. If the modern left wants to regain broad popular support again, first of all they need to work on how they approach honest discussion and internal disagreements.

It's absolutely sad and ridiculous how extremely hostile and intolerant the modern left has become toward internal disagreement.

There's an element of women in our society in the US who think endless compassion is a substitute for common sense. They approach serious situations like children-emotion first, consequences later. In their quest to be so caring, they manage to do more harm than good, putting themselves and the very people they claim to care about in danger.

So I've seen some videos on social media of women fearfully lamenting that men don't approach them, that men these days don't approach women enough, and that feminism has scared them off and ruined dating.

Now, this is the internet, so I know that most of it is either fake or sensational outliers, but I want to know the truth. Is it for real?

Would you want men to approach you? Not just your crushes (this is no fairy tale). It means most guys who approach you are average joes, some are some busted ones, and then you get the occasional charming guy who makes your heart skip a beat. Would you take the deal or leave it?
