Backintheday544 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Since I started this thread I went through to recap what was said in here. From our right wing people actual ideas that the right runs on: still none The right has even strayed from tax cuts. With the infrastructure bill they want user fees which are a regressive tax. Biden is saying oh no Republicans don’t raise taxes on people under $400,000 of income. I promised I would not do that. see that’s an interesting point. Biden said I won’t raise taxes on people making under $400,000. Republicans try doing that. Biden says no Republicans, bad and sprays them with a water bottle.

Fiscally, conservatives allowed Trump to compromise them on their traditional policy views. I’d say the biggest issues the right runs on - that they are actually serious about - are the pro-life agenda, protecting gun rights, border security and cultural anti-wokeism (which is a crossover issue that attracts some disaffected liberals). Im not much of a gun guy, and I’m for amnesty and abolishing the death penalty, but I’m also pro-life and think the woke agenda/authoritarianism is a massive threat to our country, so Republicans get my support for the foreseeable future.

I framed the OP as they’re not hypocrites on for your points: 1. Pro-life - are they? They’re more pro being born. After that fend for yourself. Is that really pro-life? 2. protecting gun rights - what are they protecting? Who had tried taking guns? 3. Border security - Obama removed more unlawful immigrants than Bush and they said he was weak on border security. That’s more of a buzz word than a position I’d say 4. Cultural anti-Wokism... can we even define that? Like imagine being a Lincoln standing up on a podium and saying I’m running on cultural anti-wokism From your next para It seems maybe you think wokeism is cancel cultural maybe? Republicans deal in cancel culture all the time. They wanted to cancel MLB for moving an all star game. They wasted millions on a political stunt to have Pence walk out on an NFL game.

As someone who is pro-life, I’d agree with you that too many are pro-birth. That said, even the most “altruistic” are typically only halfway there... Dems want anyone who wants to, to come here, but pay no mind to the cost of human trafficking. Dems typically have no idea what they are talking about with guns, so they say stupid stuff that annoys gun owners and riles everyone up. Not now border security isn’t a buzz word.

CRT being taught in schools, trans issues in relation to kids, tech censorship, authoritarian responses to the pandemic etc., I won’t say “cancel culture” because online conservatives finally realized they need to fight fire with fire on this topic.

B-Man Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 There is only one Conservative position, from which all others grow. The God given, say nature given if you would rather, LIBERTY of the INDIVIDUAL. No group rights, No government given freedoms. The INDIVIDUAL and the freedoms that he/she enjoys.

I like guns. But they come off like idiots some times. Yet the fear is Dems will take your guns. They ran against Biden on that. Is their position pro-gun or Dems will take your guns? - What Biden positions have changed on border security? Dems are mad on how he’s handled families in cages. But what official Biden position has caused you concerned? As pro-birth, I assume you were appalled at separating families that was around during the a Trump admin. Surely you spoke out about that. - What you listed both parties do.

If you believe abortion is murder, I’m not sure what level of awful a candidate would have to be to not vote for the pro-life candidate. I do think we need more nuance on this topic. Biden flaunting his Catholicism and then going further than most and repealing the Hyde Amendment is pretty gross though. I think the gun issue is more rhetoric than substance, which is why I pointed out Dems say stupid stuff that makes people believe they will lose their guns, and Republicans smartly take advantage of that. I did speak out about kids in cages, for both administrations, as well as under Obama when he had kids in cages and also in makeshift meat lockers. Numbers don’t lie, and Biden’s passive commentary on the border gave a signal to come here. I have a mixed view on border issues, but Trump was militant on securing the border and Biden is most definitely not. ....as easily evidenced by the numbers already. We’ve never seen anything like this Maoist conformity push that we’re seeing from elements of the Dem Party right now. At least not in my lifetime as a guy in my 30’s who grew up in politics. it’s created unlikely allies for conservatives in people like Glenn Greenwald, Tim Pool, Jimmy Dore etc. Unfortunately corporate dems are motivated by this new religion. This pandemic exposed quite a bit, and I’ll support the side that didn’t lockdown for a year, advocate arresting its own people, while floating the idea of vaccine passports.

If you believe abortion is murder no one will fault you for voting Republican. Like the Q stuff, if you actually think Dems are selling kids off for child slaves (or whatever Qs think) then yes that’s a good position to take based on your ideas on the subject. Agree on guns. It’s dumb. Dems aren’t taking guns. Republicans like making it an add. Dumb people fall for it (less educated people do lean R recently) What numbers do you find between Biden and Trump concerning the First 100 days? Like specific numbers. Theres no Maoist push by Dems. Dems if anything are leveraging capitalism to have a greater sway. Think of it this way. If there’s 100 people that will buy your product. 60 of them will line your idea. 40 of them will not.

If you can’t take care of those actually living then why care about if they’re born or not? And really we can make this issue moot by teaching things and promoting things like birth control in schools which has statistically proven to lower the birth rate.
