Anyone else ever notice when Conservatives/Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, and Moderates criticize a political candidate, it's usually only that candidate or administration and nothing more?

But when Liberals/Democrats criticize a political candidate, they not only do so in the worst and most vitriolic fashion, but they also equally attack and smear the people who support the candidate (s), as well?

You never hear, "Biden is an idiot who should be shot and k*lled, and so should all of the trash that voted for him."

Yet you DO commonly see, "Trump is an idiot who should be shot and k*lled, and everyone who voted or supported him should be exiled to Antarctica to freeze to death." Or anything similar.

Not trying to start political drama or anything. But this has been on my mind all day, and I find it to be true.

Just saying…Dems have scruples.

I think it is funny they are liberals that post links by liberal organizations, controlled by liberal sites. That is like the fox guarding the fox house and telling you he has no idea what happen to all the chickens. They won't allow pics that are anti liberal subjects. They censor and take down those pics. A pic is neither right or wrong , but liberals get insulted and sometimes they prove how nuts liberals are. Sometimes pics just make liberal look ugly or bad and they take them down. Sometimes they are quotes of what they actually said and they realized how stupid it was and take them down to protect the liberal so they won't look bad.

These fools say or even think Google is neutral , and facebook is neutral, and Twitter is Neutral. When all these sites refuse to post anything a Conservative says or as done. These site openly lie about Conservatives and their "fact checks" are even lies.

So, don't be a dumb ass and post liberal links that are completely biased to my questions here. Quit wasting the people's time with such trash.

Another reason the country is moving towards civil war.

Liberals take money out of private economy with taxes and spending. Most Gov't dollars go to one source and die. The reason we have run away inflation now is because they printed money instead of cutting expenses.

Same in baseball , now that liberals control it, a guy hits.330 , 15 HR's , and 100 RBI's and they give him $20 million 2 year deal. Then after 2 years , the guy comes back averaging.250, 10 Hr's , and 60 RBI's and they sign him to a 3 year $50 million deal. Wrong, his production has gone down, so should his pay, but he voted for Obama , so they take care of him. He is also a minority and so they give him money.

A news anchor puts his hands down the pants of a female intern. Does he get fired? No. He is a great liberal that believes in global warming so they remove him like he is being punished, but secretly promote him to editor.

Liberals say they are open minded and tolerant unlike Republicans but a scientist, with credentials out the ass , says Global Warming is false political theory. Liberals take away his research grants and keep him from being hired anywhere , and make things up about him and family to destroy him. If Republicans were really intolerant , there would be no liberals alive. I know they would never have gotten control of Hollywood or TV.

This is how liberals operate. This is why economy is collapsing before our eyes.

I’m worried the least skilled and intelligent will become the majority of our military.

Washington, D. C. is the nation's capital; that is a fact. Facts remain constant and can be objectively verified.

Donald Trump is an idiot; that is an opinion. Nancy Pelosi is an idiot; that is also an opinion. Whether you believe either of them is an idiot, and ordinary person, a genius, a clown who occasionally gets things right, or some other conclusion. . . that is based on your political bias and you predisposition to believe certain things because of your political orientation.

Most of our political beliefs are based on opinions, not facts.

My opinions are premised about some fundamental beliefs I have about the function of government. I want it to intrude in our lives as little as possible, to guarantee our freedoms, and I don't want it to take the place of parents in providing all of our needs; I believe taking care of ourselves is an individual responsibility. I also have an inherent distrust for big government. That leads me to being a conservative/libertarian. But I can't prove that my fundamental assumptions are "correct."

If you want government to provide a safety net and to provide as much as possible for each citizen, then you are willing to sacrifice some individual freedoms and you don't mind intrusions into your personal life. You also trust the government to do its job without corruption or bias. That leads you to be a liberal. And you can't prove that your fundamental assumptions are "correct," either.

I don't think you're stupid. I just think you placed more value on having a safety net and you are more trusting of the government. For two years, I dated a girl who was (and still is) very liberal and I NEVER thought she was stupid for holding her political beliefs.

How do YOU feel about people who disagree with your political beliefs? How respectful are you of people who dsagree with you?

A common anti-vaxx talking point is that people are quitting their jobs or refusing to go back to work because they don't want to risk suffering from the long term health effectiveness of the vaccine. However, there are always 2 sides to every story and what I don't see people talking about is how many individuals are now willing to go back to work because they have to worry less about contracting the virus. There has been a lot of rhetoric about how we could have preserved the economy by isolating the vulnerable. Well, first of all this is BS because the virus is still more than capable of incapacitating healthy adults (i. e. making them incapable of working) but despite this fascistic "us versus them" mentality anti-vaxxers exhibit, the vulnerable aren't a negligible fraction of the population and keeping them isolated will have an adverse impact on the economy. And as for "lasting side affects" it's currently estimated that 1 in 4 people who are infected with coronavirus will have long term health impacts and hot having to worry about that will make people less apprehensive about going back to work.

Vaccine mandates don't "violate bodily autonomy", they protect bodily autonomy by preventing individuals from violating said autonomy by spreading deadly pathogens to them.
