    So will there be a right #walkaway when clear-thinking conservatives run into actual raysiss, xenophobic, nazi nutjobs, the existence of which is not something I think you're going to argue?

    There are bananas all over the place for whichever political leaning you choose. I went to lawschool with a guy who is a fucking committed libertarian ... all the way through ... no compromises. He's lived that ideology for 20 years, and we still have lunch and beers.

    People need to grow a pair of stones. You don't change your political ideology because of the bananas who claim to share it with you.

    A banana is a banana.

    It already happened. It was called #NeverTrump.

    It failed, unfortunately.

    This will too.

    I watched this and a few other #walkaway videos. If these are the people we’re losing I’m not bothered. They seem like the type of cats that would believe the earth is flat or vaccines cause autism or 9/11 was an inside job cause they saw this really compelling YouTube video. You can have em.

    TY. We'll take them.

    #BurnTheScript

    None of these people were ever liberal. I promise you that. They’re saying what they think liberals say.
    Racists...racists everywhere!!

    No argument. Yes, in some form or another. It might look different, but yeah, extremists of any stripe from the right or left are not welcome in our? America. Value of freedom and America's founding principles are the common denominator that trumps ideology.

    Sure. There are principles that tend to move people left and right of center on the margins, but at the end of the day it's a paper hangar's errand to paint an entire political philosophy with the fringe brush. Which is why I'm not a little girl walking away from classical conservatism and free market ideology just because there are redneck fundies who are excited about spaceforce.

    Disagree...

    Liberalism and Conservatism are part of a person's political foundation. Any combination of these leads a person to the party that most closely identifies with these. However, political parties do change their agenda over time. If these changes are against your liberal or conservative principles and another party closely identifies with said principles then you should change.
    I know you're a Duck and reeding is hard. It's hard.

    But it's not hard for me, so I went ahead and highlighted the key words in your response. Focus on those key words, and then re-read my post.

    You're very welcome. No charge ... this tim.

    Can't pigeonhole you because you're a chameleon. If you're serious, you're on the wrong side of history and are closer to the extreme right than you think. Therefore, you aren't on 'my side.' Your friends on the far left fringe are going to be viewed as the fascists of our day after enough time has passed to get a clear picture of how this all went down. People on 'your own side' are telling you what's wrong with your? movement. It's real, this isn't fake. Your allies are racist, fascist, anti democratic goons, and you look the other way because they're your guys. Hand over power to them and there's no telling what they would do. People get it, and they're #walkingaway.

    The methods I outlined to PurpleJ in that thread for dealing with the scourge of extremism and socialism in the US are actually rather compassionate, considering the ruthless nature of the enemy. Socialism has already been tried and tested and it never leads to a good place. Concentration camps or starvation is the final destination. Modern day socialists have no excuses to fall back on. They should know better, having plenty of examples from history of socialism's failures and its destruction of nations. That makes them worse than the 20th century socialists, because they already know where this shit leads. These are your allies, and they don't think the same way as you. They only care about power, and are duping the masses again because the education system has failed. It needs to be reformed.

    Millennials aren't responsible for their ignorance. The previous generations are to blame for failing them. But they'll be responsible for their actions and held to account if they betray the founding principles of the nation once in power. We have a generation of spoiled babies on our hands, a good portion of which have no respect for the 1st or 2nd amendments and would rather live under socialism/communism than capitalism. Not because they're stupid, but because they were educated by stupid people. That's what we're dealing with. That's what has to be corrected.
