Is anyone else not surprised that there is more diversity of thought with republicans politically than there is with Democrats?

And before you hate on me, or insult me, or attack me, There has actually been a study, peer reviewed. that support s this.

I personally have experienced this. I am mostly left wing when it comes to politics. The only places i strongly disagree are when it comes to freedom of speech, the economy, men (trannies) in women's sports, and the 2nd amendment, as a result i am labeled as a right wing extremist, Nazi.

Drpepper12 if you're going to include terms in your responses like "lmao!! Dumfuq!!" not realizing such terms are against site rules perhaps you will understand why I remove your comments on everything I post. You and three other members here lead with insults. Last I checked insulting people on here is against the rules. When you can grow up and use your big boy words I will let you comment on my stuff, until then, f off and grow up.

Wow. You sound just like me.
I have what I call 1960s-'70s liberal values: I support peace, love, open mindedness, tolerance, justice, fairness, liberty and freedom. I distrust authority and am anti-war.
But I don't recognize what the term liberal has come to symbolize.

I was always strongly pro-2nd Amendment.
I supported civil rights and women's rights.
I voted for gay marriage.

But I don't understand all this TQI+++ gender nonsense. I think trans-women are men and trans-men are women. I am absolutely opposed to men competing in women's athletics and having access to women's only facilities. I am 1000% opposed to teaching children about trans-sexuality and allowing them to transition or take puberty blockers.
My liberal friends were all about the transgender agenda.
I oppose Israel and U. S. involvement in Ukraine.
My liberal friends were conflicted about Israel but still supported antisemitic laws and censorship of anti-Israel/pro-Palestine content because they think Jews are oppressed.
They were Russophobic and supported Ukraine.
They supported U. S. hostility toward N. Korea, Iran and other countries, and U. S. intervention around the world.
My final break with my liberal friends was when I didn't buy the covid hysteria and refused to mask, isolate, social distance or get jabbed. They called me an anti-vaxer conspiracy theorist and a granny killer, and assumed that my reasoning was based on ideology or brainwashing by Trump or some shit.

As a consequence of my final break with liberals in 2020-'21, I met many more conservative people and found that they are far more open minded and willing to live and let live. You don't have to agree with them on every issue. They aren't in your face. They have more diverse opinions, too, and aren't in ideological lockstep. And, surprisingly, they shared many of my values.

So, based on my personal experience, I think the chart you posted is accurate.

Democrats are a hive mind. The left politicians all say the same thing, the leftist news repeats it, and the democrats in the street carry signs saying what the politicians said.
When there is a vote in the house or senate every democrat votes the same EXCEPT John Fetterman. He is the only free thinker in the Democrat party and they hate it.
The republicans aren’t like that.

If you look at it as a whole, the entire conservative platform is shit. I mean that a person who supports everything on it would be essentially akin to The Antichrist. So, we see people who identify as conservative, embrace different parts of the platform, while rejecting other parts. Thus, there is a wide range of beliefs on their side. Liberals, however, mostly embrace their entire platform.

Yes, sanity has a lot to do with it but it is obvious that liberals have been brainwashed. They just repeat the same things.

[Asker]

Its sad. Im a liberal and i am more welcome by conservatives than i am by current liberals. Granted their brand of liberalism is loony compared to mine.

[FunkyMonkee]

Nope! Not surprised at all!!

[Asker]

I mean you dont see the right going around performing political assassinations and the like.

[FunkyMonkee]

Correct!! "Gutfeld!" is a very right wing show but, they often have gay guys on the show and even had a transwoman on a time or two and there were NO barbs thrown at any of them!! I have several trans friends, black friends, gay friends and none of it matters at all to me! I see them as PEOPLE, first.
You also don't see the right burning and destroying cities, tearing down statues, hurting the police, rallying to kill people that don't agree with them, etc..

[Asker]

It goes right along with leftist women being the most unhappy, loneliest demographic on the planet. It's their own fault.

Side note, I also very much like gutfeld.

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, have you seen some of them? They MAKE THEMSELVES SO UGLY and SCARY!!! Who'd WANNA fuck that, let alone KISS it or wake up next to it?
I watch Greg every night. The only thing I don't like about him, so far, is the way he treated Taylor (I don't recall his last name), the comedian he used to have on his show all the time. He asked a woman out for COFFEE and some loon decided what she saw was him FORCEFULLY TAKING her phone and entering his number when, she actually GAVE HIM her phone and TOLD HIM to add his number!! And, instead of Greg taking charge and fixing it or considering it a misunderstanding, he banned the guy from his show. I've had people accuse me of shit I never did, too so, I know what Taylor's going through!

[Asker]

Absolutely right

[exitseven]

Gutfeld is the best.

[beefcakebradybatson]

No. It's devolved into a white supremacist group.

[Pterodon]

Really? My girlfriend is black

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Pterodon Do you call her the "N" word? Beardo's wife is an Indian (from that country, not First Nations) and he's anti-black.

[Pterodon]

Never. I also raised a half black son that was the product of a rape. Yeah we could’ve aborted but we’re pro life and practice what we preach

[noohair]

Sort of..
